Wouldn't you want to use floor instead?:

tos floor 2 

http://www.ee.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/manyopt.html

>From what that page says:

Ceiling:
Servers with stratum at or above ceiling will be discarded if there are at
least minclock peers remaining. This value defaults to 15, but can be
changed to any number from 1 to 15.

vs

Floor:
Peers with strata below floor will be discarded if there are at least
minclock peers remaining. This value defaults to 1, but can be changed to
any number from 1 to 15.

Subject: Re: [ntp:questions] NTP behaviour when server is not synchronized

We added the following line to ntp.conf, this solved the problem (i.e.
made ntpd stay synchronized to the stratum 1 server even when the
other server reported stratum 12). Do you understand why this makes a
difference?

tos ceiling 2

I do understand that more detailed information (i.e. ntpq output) is
needed to provide an accurate answer. I will check whether is it
possible to obtain this information.
