I have seen cases where applications require certain helper applications or plugins to be 555 or 500, so not writable by anyone (for security reasons, but I don't remember exactly where I saw this). Instead of not stripping them at all, wouldn't it be desirable to make them writable, strip them and remove the writable permissions again?
