Simple. Made a bead of solder, or as I like to call it, slobber, on the
tip of the iron. Sit that on top of the wire up next to the toroid
where you want to start stripping, right on top (heat does rise but
putting it on top makes the bead sit on top of the wire and seems to
heat up the enamel better), and wait a bit, and it will burn the
insulation. You'll know because it stinks. Feed a bit more fresh solder
to the iron as you move out toward the tip of the wire, and you'll
leave a nice clean de-insulated, wire as you go. Good stinky fun!

Yes, a solder pot or even the tip of most soldering irons will easily
