Water vapor does not "destroy" the ozone layer. It has a small part to play. By far the greatest damage is caused by chlorofluorocarbons.
There are two methods by which water vapor serves to reduce ozone concentration in the ozone layer.
Note that excesses of NOx (nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide) are found in the ozone holes... and polar clouds are spotted during periods where the ozone hole is larger.
The water vapor molecule has he highest potential for global warming. It thus causes ozone depletion.
Consuming oxygen that took months to diffuse to that level, adding water vapor to the atmosphere (water vapor depletes ozone), and heating the atmosphere a little bit, which lets more water vapor cross over into the ozone layer.
Oxygen. Nitrogen also helps ozone form (as long as water vapor is not around).
Ozone is broken down fairly quickly by water vapor. Ozone (or at least lone oxygen atoms) will oxidize solar wind constituents to form hydroxyl ions and eventually water vapor. Otherwise, no, the top of the troposphere is cold enough that water vapor freezes and falls back down, so that an ozone layer can form (and stay at higher concentrations).
Most anything that makes it to the ozone layer gets destroyed, since there is a lot of high energy light available to do this. The most important one is ozone, which is destroyed by: * UV-B from the Sun, * water vapor, * CFC and other contaminants. UV-C and UV-B from the Sun. Not-fully-oxidized sulfur compounds. Molecules with carbon=carbon double bonds. Unpassivated metals. Slowly converts water to hydrogen peroxide...

Ozone layer: water vapor, chlorofluorocarbons, stuff like that.Tropospheric ozone: NOx, VOC
This has been answered under other categories: # Water vapor both blocks one path of ozone formation, and provides a faster decay path for ozone. Water vapor arrives in the "ozone layer" from both natural and Man-caused sources. # CFCs have been shown to catalytically destroy ozone, and stick around long enough to do it again and again. CFCs are entirely Man-caused. Other catalysts may source from volcanos, etc.

No, we cannot make an ozone layer above it, below it, and we can't fill it in. We just have to stop dumping things into the atmosphere.There is too much energy above the ozone layer to let ozone survive.There is too much water vapor below the ozone layer to let ozone survive.We'd burn up all our fossil fuels trying to get ozone "up there", which would destroy more ozone than we ever made.

Ozone and hydrogen do not react directly, in general. Hydrogen does get oxidized to water vapor, and water vapor does destroy ozone to make hydrogen peroxide. It just takes a couple of intermediate steps.
The stratosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%). It also contains trace amounts of other gases such as ozone, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.
It will have zero effect. The ozone layer is affected by water vapor, the amount of sunshine and (according to some) CFC's which are produced during the creation of your air conditioner or refrigerator. Recycling is a great idea, but will have zero effect on the ozone layer.
