Album info: The word "strip" does refer to a striptease/stripping off of clothes. In combination with the word "winning a lawsuit" (I think the 'lawsuit' part is irrelevant here and the word was chosen for alliteration purposes; if there had been a word that meant only 'winning' yet began with an S, she would have chosen it) it basically means being so excited about winning something that you strip off all your clothes in jubilation. The specific event this refers to is the fact that Ringo's musical idol Asai "Benzie" Kenichi played guitar on one of the songs on this album, something Ringo considered a huge triumph for herself.
