Casting a stressful Wish has dire consequences, including a Strength reduction:

The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other than duplicating another spell weakens you. [...] In addition, your Strength drops to 3, if it isn't 3 or lower already, for 2d4 days. For each of those days that you spend resting and doing nothing more than light activity, your remaining recovery time decreases by 2 days.

The Greater Restoration spell can normally be used to cure an ability score reduction :

You can [...] end [...] any reduction to one of the target's ability scores

Is the Greater Restoration spell strong enough to undo a Stressful Wish's Strength reduction early ?

By RAW, yes, as the rules for Wish don't say anything about magic not being able to end the reduction

You've already quoted in your question the relevant portion of Greater Restoration, which says that it can end any reduction in Ability Scores. In 5e, Specific beats General, and there are no hidden rules. Because Wish doesn't say anything about the Strength decrease that you haven't already mentioned, the more specific rules are those of Greater Restoration.

Do note, however, that Greater Restoration does nothing about the other effects of Wish's stress.

A Greater Restoration can cure the ability score reduction caused by a stressful Wish.

Wish (PHB 288):

The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other than
duplicating another spell weakens you. After enduring that stress,
each time you cast a spell until you finish a long rest, you take 1d10
necrotic damage per level of that spell. This damage can’t be reduced
or prevented in any way. In addition, your Strength drops to 3, if it
isn’t 3 or lower already, for 2d4 days. For each of those days that
you spend resting and doing nothing more than light activity, your
remaining recovery time decreases by 2 days. Finally, there is a 33
percent chance that you are unable to cast wish ever again if you
suffer this stress.

Note that the necrotic damage caused by this stressful Wish can't be reduced by any means, but the ability score reduction has no such text.

Greater Restoration (PHB 246):

• Any reduction to one of the target’s ability scores

Can restore any ability score reduction including that of a (stressful) Wish.
