Carefully.
Or maybe use a wire stripper set to the right diameter. With some, especially cheap ones, you probably have to release your grip, rotate the wire a little and squeeze again. .
Stripping multicore wire?

How is this dull knife dangerous?
Because you have to press much harder to get anything done, there's more change of it slipping and going where it shouldn't.
And then doing less damage when it does. The most damage I've done to myself was with a flat bladed screwdriver, why can't flat screws have an end to the slit so the screwdriver doesn't slip out? Oh and there was the time I shorted a bank of thirty car batteries for a solar power system. The pliers took the brunt of that and evaporated. Luckily the molten metal went in a different direction to me.
There you go. A flat bladed screwdriver is even duller than a dull knife, and it did more damage to you, not less.
No, a screwdriver is very sharp. It's also ten times shorter than a knife blade, so the force of it is only on a 3mm long piece of skin instead of 30mm long.
I give up.
"A flat bladed screwdriver is even duller than a dull knife" in simply untrue, or you buy s*it screwdrivers. And you need to read up on pounds per square inch.
