I don't know if this is too low-tech, but I find using a knife to strip is much easier on my hands.
Sometimes I cut around the circumference of the wire and then pull the end off with pliers. Other times I sort of shave it off like sharpening a pencil with a knife.
For crimping small connectors, I set the crimping pliers down on a hard surface, like concrete, and hit the handle with a hammer. Squeezing is out of the question for me.
I agree that a helper is the best solution! But not always easy to find.
