Distinct from sense 1 (REMOVE COVERING): sense 1 covers general removal of any outer layer (bark, wallpaper, insulation). This sense is specifically for paint and varnish removal using chemical or mechanical stripping methods in home improvement. The phrasal verb "strip off" is used for the paint itself: "strip off the old paint."
