Stripping 40 AWG/45 SWG or finer magnet wire/enamelled copper wire?

That works just fine with some coatings, but not at all with others. It's worth trying first, however.

It's probably annealed by then, but that's all. It's melting point is above 2000 F, so you're a long way from that.

Once it cools back down to room temp the only change in the copper is that it will be annealed.

It'll be fine. That's a pretty common soldering temp, and used for thermal strip coil wire. We never pre-tin it, just terminate and solder.
