The difference between S and M are as follows-

S is how strong you are.

Muscle is how tough you are.

ok then you need to called Muscle 'Toughness' or 'Endurance'

Dexterity is what you need to beet to hit some one, calling it armor rating which would not only be copying D&D but also imply that that is your armor which in this case is your Muscle stat.  I'm thinking of dexterity more like agility.

Plenty of games use 'Armour Class', 'Armour Points' and similar term, not just D&D. I can see why you might not want that for your game though. I suppose you could call it Agility then, but that is still misleading - dodge could work I guess, I know it's a difficult concept to get across  but 'Dexterity' is not the right term ... 'Target Rating' could work
