This draft PR was meant to be a quick exercise to see how one could support stripping in BOLT.
It turns out the next day this patch was published that can fix stripping for gnu strip:

TMU, `llvm-strip` was fixed and now I assume the same for gnu strip, so probably issues #56738 and duplicate #89336 are now resolved.

Given the stripping tools can now properly handle this, I don't see a need for BOLT to duplicate such functionality.
If that somehow changes, we can re-visit this PR.
