The look of uneasiness/guilt as he puts the phone says to me that there’s a chance he was thinking about it. You have to remember that Stranger has been a hunting target for probably a long time, and has seen the other Steefs get slaughtered. He’s petrified of being found out.
He only helps the Grubbs after he’s discovered and they help rescue him. In his eyes, Sekto would be coming for him anyway so he had nothing to lose.
