Ive got small as fuck cables I need to strip but they're too small to do it with a cutter
Saw a video of someone heating the plastic with a lighter and swiping it off
Would that be safe or will it damage the core cable ?
I know your not here to answer my question, but Ive got no one else to ask and would be forever gratefull

I usually just clip the edges slightly then tear it off.
use proper wire stripper tool

Warming it up with a lighter is a really good way to get around it. Nail cutters are great too. Sometimes if possible, I turn the cable against a scissors blade, it'll tear the plastic just enough to make a cut.

If the insulation is made for that type of wire stripping it shouldn't much of a problem.
The Wire in OP doesn't seem that small. Seems like 22 or 24 gauge. I don't see why you're having a problem?

this,
ring it with phone shears, or just use the stripper on the shears.

Seconding teeth.
The insulation is so thin it'll scrape right off. You've got a bigger chance of fucking it up with the lighter
I just roll it very lightly on a razor then pull it off.
