Assuming coating will not melt off/evaporate at soldering iron temperature
I tend to grip between 2 fingertips and abraid with the finest grade of wet
and dry paper against a fingertip and turning wire around and repeating a
few times. Would abraiding against a block of rubber be better or some other
process altogether ? for minimised chance of localised (so failure point)
weakness due to stretching near the stripping point. Perhaps a small
fine-grade grind stone in a Dremmel with direction of rotation towards the
bulk of wire, turning the wire .

Try dipping the end in some xylene (or MEK from a model shop if you
can`t get xylene) then wiping the coating off quickly with a tissue.


I`m presuming you know all the reasons not to come into contact with xylene.
