I was just wondering, about how much weight does stripping a frame take off.

Dirtjum naked man. Youll save much more weight that way than you will rawing your frame. Plus youll need to clearcoat it after rawing it if you dont want rust... thats just adding more weight.

rawing your frame may look cool if your going for the "industrial" look but as far as weight saving it's pretty much pointless.

taking off the paint just isnt worth it for the results you get

I agree 100% the only reason i might strip my paint off is after my bike is covered in scratches and would look better without paint than it did with all the scratches and gouges in the paint lol.
