The old tried and true method is to use an X-acto knife to scrape the
insulation off with. Simple, not very elegant but it always works.

Subject: [Elecraft] stripping insulation from enamel wires
Here's an old problem that I've never solved: how to strip the enamel
insulation from wires for winding toroids.
The instruction say:
-dip in a solder pot which I don't have
-use a soldering iron to, presumably, burn the insulation off which
has
never worked for me.
Leaving soldering pots aside, the hot iron approach has never burned
off
any insulation even with tip temp's hovering around 1000F. Just
doesn't
happen. Maybe it's the soldering iron, maybe my method, but
whichever,
the enamel insulation just sits there. I end up using a file to
scrape
off the insulation which is tough on the wires and hard to predict
when
enough is enough. Any insightful hints? Thanks much.
