Oh, you can hurt yourself with any type of tool if you are inept

Quite so. As I only do wire stripping infrequently, I use the side jaw of
a pair of pliers like this one:

did that. For fine electronic projects, I use a tiny cutting one nicking a
bit of the plastic sheath (side of wire) and twist the wire end until the
sheath breaks completely, then pull. It needs delicate hands and practice
though.
