You will have to be more clear about what exactly you are trying to do. I, at least, am quite unsure about what you want.
fit <- coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ x1 + strata(x2)) The hazard ratio(s) wrt x1 have the same meaning for a stratified or an unstratified model. If you are asking about hazard ratios for x2 --- there are none. That is the point of a strata; you are declaring a variable to NOT be proportional hazards, and thus there is no single "hazard ratio" that describes it.
