And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], to betray him

This doesn't say that Satan was placed in him. It says that the devil put the thought/desire in Judas's heart to betray Jesus.

That is the reading you may like, but it is not what it says

It clearly says PUT , now who would have the ability to PUT Satan into the heart Of Judas?

We know from the bible that God remains sovereign over satan . Satan can not act without the permission of God .(read Job)

Something that may slip by unnoticed unless you realize this is God then gave Judas permission to betray Him)

Jhn 13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

Wouldn't this be a typically Jewish way of expressing the idea you expressed? I'm thinking of King Saul and the evil spirit, specifically.
