John appears to be taking into account the impedance of the winding vs. the
impedance that the winding is connected to (the 710 ohm line).

The short answer is that you should replace the windings that have the
coating scraped off.
Using a liner is best, but it's not absolutely necessary.
I'll bet you're using solderable wire, aren't you? If you have some magnet
wire with a tougher coating (such as Formvar or Belden® heavy-armored
Polythermaleze®) it's not so likely to be damaged. You'll have to remove
the coating at each end, because a soldering iron won't melt it.
