If you can solder, you can do it.
You don't need to strip the wire; the soldering pencil heat will do that for you. Try it - touch the hot soldering pencil to the end of the wire. Or you can take a single-edged razor blade and scrape it against the insulation for the last 1/8th of an inch or so. (It's really hard to try to slice around the insulation as you would for bigger wire.) Remove the cartridge clip from the back of the cartridge and put it in a pair of hemostats or something to hold it. Tin it and remove any strands of wire hanging on. Then bring the wire to the clip and apply heat to melt the solder, holding the pencil tip at the joint of wire and clip.
