There's a paint-and-finish stripper of a similar name (Klean-Strip
Strip-X) available these days. Like the wire-"Strip-X" it contains
methylene chloride, but it has no cresol or ammonia. Its other
ingredients include toluene, xylene, and methanol, plus a thickener
(it's relatively goopy and would probably have to be wiped off of the
wire using a paper towel or Q-tip or something like that).

These chemicals all come with fire- and health-hazard warnings... if
you use 'em, do so with proper care and precautions!
=======================================
The ( potential health)problem chemicals are the C6H6-ring hydrocarbons
: toluene and xylene .

In addition to breathing the vapours , skin contact with the liquid is
outright dangerous
Most products containing these benzene/benzol derivatives are no longer
available to the public at large ,since they can cause cancer.
But.......they are very effective solvents.
