What about one of those simple wire strippers that have a blade

may make the task easier?

Sounds like a job for a 3d printer if he has one.
It could ... but if using PLA if the friction of the PVC might be an
issue (ok if taken slowly).
Otherwise ... a hole the OD of the wire drilled though a bit of batten
and a sharp pointed screw screwed in to meet the hole at 90 degrees
and then depth adjusted accordingly (to slice the outer but not nick
the inner).
I think with the block held in the vice and the cable fed in smoothly
by an assistant as you pull it though should make the job pretty quick
and easy. ;-)
