I agree with Greytruck, there's not much return for your effort in stripping small gauge wire. Nonetheless, if you have nothing better to do with your time, here is what I do.
Place a board on your lap. Holding the wire on the board with a pair of plyers, I shave the insulation off on a shallow angle with a razor knife (box cutter), moving the knife down the wire away from you. It takes a bit of practice, but you can strip almost any wire like this.
Most of my wire, I can strip with this machine:
BWS-25 | Bluedog Wire Strippers
There are a lot of similar product available online (probably cheaper too).
The small stuff, I strip using the technique outlined above. I save this for when I'm waiting for a pot to boil or whatever. It's something to do and it doesn't make a big mess.
