You can drop CON to 16. Above that value it is only useful for fighters and rangers. Monks count as clerics.

INT should be minimum 9 as this will allow you to use a wand and read scrolls.

CHAR I think it is important. As far as I understand, this will allow you to strike earlier. I once had a thief with terrible charisma. When trying to backstab he often came out of shadows before even trying to hit. I believe it was because of his CHAR but maybe anybody could give us more insight here.

And yes, max out DEX. As monks can't wear armour the AC increase because of the dexterity bonus will be very important in the beginning. It is even more important than strength 'cause you can buy early on a nice girdle for this stat.
