I don't have one script that does all three... But I do have three separate scripts. I could possibly combine them with time/effort, but no promises as I'm new to scripting.
I did manage to hack an existing script to add the Filename to the Headline into the Credit:

#target bridge
addName
An equivalent ExifTool command line could be:
exiftool '-IPTC:ObjectName<${filename;s/\.[^.]*$//}' '-IPTC:Credit<${filename;s/\.[^.]*$//}' '-IPTC:Caption-Abstract<${filename;s/\.[^.]*$//}' '-IFD0:ImageDescription<${filename;s/\.[^.]*$//}' '-XMP-dc:Title<${filename;s/\.[^.]*$//}' '-XMP-dc:Description<${filename;s/\.[^.]*$//}' '-XMP-photoshop:Credit<${filename;s/\.[^.]*$//}' -r 'pathTOfileORfolder'
I posted the following code earlier in the topic thread, which adds the file name to the description field, removing the filename extension...

fileToDesc.onSelUsing ExifTool, the command line code to copy the filename to the description metadata tag without extension would be:
exiftool '-description<${filename;s/\.[^\.]+$//}' -r 'path to file or folder here'
This command line code example is from the Mac, on Windows simply change the single straight quote/foot mark ' to straight double quote/inch marks " with the correct platform-specific path to the file or top-level folder. It uses a recursive argument to process all files in all folders und

After running all three scripts, I used ExifTool to confirm which metadata tags were written:
[IPTC] ObjectName
[IPTC] Credit
[IPTC] Caption-Abstract
[IFD0] ImageDescription
[XMP-dc] Title
[XMP-dc] Description
[XMP-photoshop] Credit
And here is the result from Bridge's Metadata panel for a file titled "colour FILE-Test.psd":
