Your post poses some problems in understanding just what the trouble is...
"The truss nut is stripping" - This is generally understood to be where the threads in the nut have been damaged to the point that they no longer thread onto the end of the TR. If they are that damaged, you should be able to turn the nut very easily.
"The one on my Korean Fender gets harder to adjust each time." - Your reference to "the one" says to me that the TR nut gets more difficult to turn each time. If the TR nut is hard to turn, then it has bottomed out on the threads of the TR. That means there is no more adjustment available.
So you've described to opposing conditions with these statements. There is a third possibility and that's where the socket for the TR wrench has rounded out, keeping you from being able to engage the wrench with the nut. You didn't say this but it's a common occurence. A fourth possibility is that your TR has been adjusted to it's max and the neck itself won't take any more. Unlikely to happen before one of the other two situations but one you should be aware of.
For the first condition (stripped nut), there isn't a solution except to get a new nut. This is the same solution for a rounded out wrench socket.
For the second situation (bottomed out nut), you might be able to remove the nut and put a couple of small washers over the TR and rethread the nut on. This will move the nut back on the threaded portion of the TR and give you a bit more room to adjust.
The fourth condition just requires a new neck.
Hope this helps
