I've had no difficulty stripping silicone wire with regular strippers. Usually I've had to use a size up from the actual gauge though, otherwise the wire tends to fray and become hard to put into our connectors.
Edit: Based on your method, are you using the good kind of wire strippers that you just squeeze instead of
the kind we have?
