Everytime a part is stripped, it takes a little bit of the base metal away, and that is if it is done right and carefully. You will eventually start to loose defination, and screw holes and etc. will start getting loose. The first time or two it isn't bad, but it does start to add up significantly if done too many times. So I wouldn't plan to do it over and over on an extended basis.
There is at least one type of stripper that doesn't do this, but it is more toxic and hazardous. Even most commercial anodizers don't use it anymore from what I understand.
