This is not easy. There are various coatings and tapes that will give

If you strip the part that you do not want to strip, is it really a
problem to repaint it?

Yeah, because there is no place to stop stripping other than a midpoint
in the jamb between the bathroom and the hall -- the hall-side of the
jamb is painted like the other hall jambs, a color the previous owner
picked, and the jambs connect to the chair rail, also of the same color,
which joins the jambs. It's all of one piece, finish-wise. The only real
breakpoint is in the doorway.

Phooey.
