Of course solder won't stick to the enamel, but enamel will melt in
the presence of molten solder. So, just apply a heat and solder and
you should have no problem.

Alternatively, there is a product called Strip-X that will disolve the
enamel. You can also scrape the enamel off with a knife or sand
paper. I prefer the molten solder approach.

Is it necessary to clean the enamel from enamelled wire before
soldering it?

I have a vague recollection that I read that it wasn't, and I only
have a couple little stubs that I'm afraid will beak off if I move
them around at all. (These are part of the 110volt winding in step
down transformer.)
