I use my wire cutters (very gently) to scrape the enamel, or an Xacto knife.? One thing I found is that my soldering iron temperature had been set too low (about 700 F).? Bumping it up to 800F made it much easier to burn off any remaining enamel.? I suspect that a fatter iron tip or a more powerful iron would also help, no doubt the small tip I am using (I usually do surface mount) cools down a bit when working with the toroid wires.
