Honestly,

HSRP and OSPF should NEVER have anything to do with each other. Operate
them on the same routers, sure, but you are talking apples and oranges.

OSPF is a routing protocol, let it choose it's routes accordingly.

HSRP is a high availability tool to serve hosts with static routes
configured. And as far as I know, it doesn't work on WAN interfaces (and
I don't know why it would, or why you'd want it too).

Think of HSRP as something that you aim at a HOST.
