my idea in brief is: I would like from you guys to give us the most common forms of an irregular verbs that have more than one form in either past form or past participle form, for example: in the verb (stride), Which is the most common form of its past participle that is used more frequently by English speakers? Is it (strode, stridden or strid)?

Damascus,
If it is possible, I suggest that you go to a big library and try to
find an old (from the 1930's) two-volume grammar book entitled
A Grammar of the English Language by Dr. George O. Curme.
*****
In the first volume (in the back of the book), Dr. Curme discusses
the history of most strong (irregular) verbs. I learned this about
"stride":
past = strode; strided (used in the past by some "good" authors);
strid (older form in literature).
past participle = stridden; strided (used in the past by some
"good" authors); strid ("a rare past participle").
