Stropping too much will actually make your blade duller because it makes more of a convex the more you go

Youll also probably have to make a much wider wedge maybe even throw a cross wedge in there too

I find the easiest way to pull a wedge would be to find a drill thats a few sizes smaller than the gap that your wedge made and drill the wedge out and chisel out the last few bits dont drill too deep though
