The problem is that not all PL-259s and Ns have the same required strip
dimensions. The coax dimensions are known, so that's easy.

That's the idea behind the swapable cassettes in the CST Vario. On mine,
you can flip it over, so you basically have two presets in one stripper.
However, as you say, a purpose configured stripper for each kind of
coax/connector is definitely the way to go, and if the $20 widgets do
the job, you can buy 4 for the price of the CST Vario, which can only do
2 (at best).
