Let me mention (it has been mentioned before) that the Hakko 808 desoldering
tool is also an excellent toroid wire stripper...
	Trim the toroid lead to about 1 inch.
	Melt a small blob of solder on the Hakko nozzle tip filling the
nozzle hole.
	Insert lead through solder blob into the nozzle.
	Add a little more solder at the nozzle tip.
	Squeeze the Hakko trigger to vacuum away the solder and insulation
in a flash.

Unfortunately, the tool is moderately expensive ($175 give or take) for
simply stripping toroid leads!  But... You also have an excellent
self-contained desoldering tool for making modifications, correcting
mistakes, etc.
