Litz wire seems to come in two varieties - with low-temperature solderable
insulation, and with conventional enamel insulation.  I'm dealing with the
latter, not solderable in solder pots regardless of fluxing agents.

I have some Litz wire where when I want to strip it, I immurse the end in a
small glob of rosin core solder.  The insulation will melt or burn off, and
the solder will tin the strands together.
