I have a pair of wire strippers - they are shaped like nail clippers but are
flexible and therefore limited the amount of pressure such that it cuts
through the varnish but not the wire.
However I also use heat - not enough to burn off but sufficient to make the
varnish brittle.
Withe the wire strippers I rotate them around the wire and then gently pull
on the varnish. In most cases the varnish is removed as a tube leaving a
nice shiney copper wire.
I'm not sure of the mechanics of this but it certainly worked for me
