Make [FromQuery] bool testValue accept 'testValue', 'test_value' and 'test-value' - asp.net-core

Question

In ASP NET 6+ I need to make [FromQuery] replace underscores _ and minuses - before matching names.
So I want to plumb ASP to allow [FromQuery] bool testValue to be equivalent to all at once:
[FromQuery(Name="testValue")] bool testValue
[FromQuery(Name="test-value")] bool testValue
[FromQuery(Name="test_value")] bool testValue
Is there a place in the pipeline I can get in before names are compared (to remove _ and - myself)?

My current solution is just to replace the Request.Query with my own doctored QueryCollection that duplicates variables with fixed names in a middleware.
But I'm looking for any answer that's more... unhacky?!
public class RequeryMiddleware : IMiddleware
{
private static readonly char[] separators = new[] { '_', '-', '.', '|' };
private static bool Requery(ref string name)
{
bool changed = false;
if (name.IndexOfAny(separators) >= 0)
{
name = string.Concat(name.Split(separators, StringSplitOptions.None));
changed = true;
}
return changed;
}
public Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context, RequestDelegate next)
{
Dictionary<string, StringValues> mods = new(
StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase
);
foreach (var item in context.Request.Query)
{
string key = item.Key;
if (Requery(ref key))
{
mods.Add(key, item.Value);
}
}
if (mods.Count > 0)
{
Dictionary<string, StringValues> query = new(
context.Request.Query.Count + mods.Count
, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase
);
foreach (var item in context.Request.Query)
{
query.Add(item.Key, item.Value);
}
foreach (var mod in mods)
{
// if we get here it's bad...
query.TryAdd(mod.Key, mod.Value);
}
// replace the Query collection
context.Request.Query = new QueryCollection(query);
// change the QueryString too
QueryBuilder qb = new(context.Request.Query);
context.Request.QueryString = qb.ToQueryString();
}
return next(context);
}
}
