My guess is that least 99% or your readers won't know how its pronounced either and, if they look it up, they will find one of the differing stress-pronunciations that you have. This means either they'll think you're wrong (if they find a different one than you opt for), or right (if they find the one you adopt) or perhaps they will simply follow your lead as the metre dictates. And given there's no consensus, likely there's no single correct answer, so I'd just so go with works best for you given the metrical constraints of the line.
