Remove three sides of border around ggplot facet strip label

I have the following graph:

enter image description here

And would like to make what I thought would be a very simple change: I would like to remove the top, right and bottom sides of the left facet label border lines.

How do I do I remove those lines, or draw the equivalent of the right hand lines? I would rather not muck about with grobs, if possible, but won't say no to any solution that works.

Graph code:

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
library(forcats)

posthoc1 %>% 
  mutate(ordering = -as.numeric(Dataset) + Test.stat,
         Species2 = fct_reorder(Species2, ordering, .desc = F)) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x=Coef, y=Species2, reorder(Coef, Taxa), group=Species2, colour=Taxa)) + 
  geom_point(size=posthoc1$Test.stat*.25, show.legend = FALSE) + 
  ylab("") + 
  theme_classic(base_size = 20) +
  facet_grid(Taxa~Dataset, scales = "free_y", space = "free_y",  switch = "y") +
  geom_vline(xintercept = 0) +
  theme(axis.text.x=element_text(colour = "black"), 
        strip.placement = "outside", 
        strip.background.x=element_rect(color = NA,  fill=NA), 
        strip.background.y=element_rect(color = "black",  fill=NA)) +
  coord_cartesian(clip = "off") +
  scale_x_continuous(limits=NULL)

This solution is based on grobs: find positions of "strip-l" (left strips) and then substitute the rect grobs with line grobs.

p <- posthoc1 %>% 
  mutate(ordering = -as.numeric(Dataset) + Test.stat,
         Species2 = fct_reorder(Species2, ordering, .desc = F)) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x=Coef, y=Species2, reorder(Coef, Taxa), group=Species2, colour=Taxa)) + 
  geom_point(size=posthoc1$Test.stat*.25, show.legend = FALSE) + 
  ylab("") + 
  theme_classic(base_size = 20) +
  facet_grid(Taxa~Dataset, scales = "free_y", space = "free_y",  switch = "y") +
  geom_vline(xintercept = 0) +
  theme(axis.text.x=element_text(colour = "black"), 
        strip.placement = "outside", 
        #strip.background.x=element_rect(color = "white",  fill=NULL), 
        strip.background.y=element_rect(color = NA)
  ) +
  coord_cartesian(clip = "off") +
  scale_x_continuous(limits=NULL)

library(grid)
q <- ggplotGrob(p)
lg <- linesGrob(x=unit(c(0,0),"npc"), y=unit(c(0,1),"npc"), 
                   gp=gpar(col="red", lwd=4))

for (k in grep("strip-l",q$layout$name)) {
  q$grobs[[k]]$grobs[[1]]$children[[1]] <- lg
}

grid.draw(q)
