someone told me that I can strip zinc in a plastic tub filled with
vinegar?

I know vinegar has lots of uses, but is this so?

Why do you want to strip it?

If it is just so paint will stick and not peel, a full cycle through the
dishwasher or soaking in a pan with hot water and dish machine soap will do
the job.

what does the dishwashing process do to it?
