I believe Stranger was trying to play the role of the bounty hunter, and he really wanted to be the bounty hunter going after a steef. He did not want to be that steef, he wanted to be "normal", so he lied, hoping he would believe it himself. Then you see him take another look at the poster, and reality hits him, I think the expression he makes displays this. The operation he wants is not just so he can survive, but so he can also feel normal for once in his life.
