Well, assuming current knowledge but committed to trying to 'win' whatever that means.
a) As Italy, don't jump on the bandwagon to hell. Stay neutral and keep my head down while trying to develop my economy while everybody else are wreaking theirs.
b) As Japan, unless managing to patch up a peace with the Chinese and withdrawing to Manchuria counts as a win, presuming that's politically possible. Failing that trying to persuade the Dutch to sell me oil. Failing that attack Britain and the Netherlands but do not dow on the US. Leave them the burden of committing to conflict and hope that if you do a vigerous blockage of the Philippines can prompt intervention and you can defeat their fleet [possible] then patch up a peace [unlikely but as Sherlock says when you rule out the impossible
].
c) As Germany, possibly seek to discourage Italian intervention. Failing that don't send Rommel to N Africa. Find someone who will obey orders! Possibly leave the Italians to wither on the vine in Greece.
Do invade the SU in 41 but with a bit better forward planning. Try and make for a more liberal occupation policy. Despite what some people say its not impossible and would reap huge benefits. Prepare for winter.
Most of all do not declare war on the US. Posisbly even denounce any Japanese attack to distance yourself. [After all they didn't join the crusade against Stalin and the last thing you want is another powerful enemy].
No holocaust and seek to minimise other barbarities. As said by Corbell Mark IV, both evil and stupid.
