You need to think your way out of this one. Stata will be of almost no use.
Putting collinear variables into a model requires a lot of data, because the precision of estimate is degraded badly by the collinearity. An alternative is to chose among variables that measure the same thing and pick the one which means most in terms of the underlying theory. I suggest that this is your best route.
