The withdraw skill does (or did not) work as you think. I tried that too, with the clay man, but Withdraw only works in groups of other players. Unless they have changed this, you just wasted a level.
Stealing is tricky as you need very high dex and charisma. When you can get it, fast talking is a must. Just be careful with stealing though: when you are caught, they will try to murder you.
