Does anyone have a suggestion on how to safely expose the copper inside the purple wire? I have not been able to find a probe sharp enough to pierce the insulation and I don't really want to strip it and leave it exposed.
Any ideas or proven solutions?

If it's a "high-miler" and I had reason to be under the plenum I'd consider doing the contacts in the starter and a couple other small pieces. There's many Internet tutorials that mention NipponDenso issues and it makes no difference which ND starter on which brand. The one I pointed to is from a "car guy" that was just struggling with a "no start".
The battery needs to be 100% not 97 or 98% - the "no starts" if the battery is weak will generally manifest themselves in a "hot start" situation. Let the car cool and it will again crank. I've never tried to probe or pierce the purple wire but it would seem not that difficult a task. A quality fused test light should provide I would think enough to pierce it.If it's sharp enough to make you "bleed" it should pierce the insulation.
Here's an old post by Jerry that I believe I used many years ago when doing exactly what you're doing. After reading Jerry's open the entire thread and look at the post right after his. I don't know about that being a "fix" but it's from GK!
