You can try those wire-strippers with slots for different wire gauges. You'd typically strip using a slot that's slightly smaller.
ie. Use the 28ga. slot for stripping 26ga. wires.

I've found the 26ga. slot on my stripper to work for the 24ga. silver wire from the group-buy.

I have quite a few strippers of various designs including ones that were mentioned and none really seem to strip teflon cleanly or easily enough. Mainly a lot of tugging and wiggling to get the desired length stripped off. It's also likely that the results would not be that great and I would need to cut off another line from the roll to start over for that perfectly stripped length. I guess it's time for another gamble from a retailer. I do appreciate your input guys.

In the past my colleagues have used a tool called "hotweezers" for stipping and preparing PTFE/Teflon high-temperature insulations.

You never know, you might find some on eB*y!

Cheers for now
