Options I'm aware of are: Dual Talent Human, Jiang-Shi Dhampir. Short of custom races is there anything else with +2 str/int?
Vulcan. ;)
What class are you looking at?
Ah missed those, thanks! Edit: Possibly Magus with a strength build.

You do not really need +2 to both main stats. You can pretty much get by with a 15-16 Int to start with. Your spells are typically Touch spells without a Save DC. The boosted Int benefits skills which get stripped out by spells quickly, and spells per day which can increase with the Headband of Vast Int. In the early levels, you will hardly notice the difference.
I recommend Human, Half Elf, Half Orc, and any race that gives you +2 to one of the 2 stats. You will hardly notice the difference. But playing some weird race is hard to justify in many settings beyond, I wanted the stat boosts.

You're right of course but it's slightly irking how many race options the dex build has. Anyway that's a whole other topic that's probably been done to death somewhere.
These need a lot of GM fiat, but for completeness:
1) Angel-blooded / peri-blooded aasimar with +2 Int / Str manually picked from variant aasimar abilities.
2) Oni-spawn tiefling with +2 Int manually picked from variant tiefling abilities.
One of my players on Sunday is an oni-spawn that did exactly that for his strength magus. He also picked a prehensile tail because rods.
Choose the Eldritch Scion Magus to become a CHA-based spontaneous caster and play a Nagaji for +2 STR, +2 CHA, -2 INT. My PFS Nagaji Eldritch Scion is pretty fun so far and now she has a Mauler Familiar more intelligent than her! It's also hilarious to see people's faces when I tell them I'm playing a Magus with 5 INT.
Aasimar have alternate racial SLA's which can add to your STR.
The Emberkin gets INT already.
