I was taught by an smart EE to use a scribe to poke through the insulation of the wire, then touch the probe to the scribe. Super easy, and the wire isn't exposed when you're done (you should still warp it in electrical tape afterward)

The same guy taught me to strip wire using small side cutters, another handy trick.
