Before all of the new fancy gadgets (which most of the times don't work
well) people used straight edges. Try a 48" straight edge, use a fine
pencil, and don't try pushing the blade through on the first pass.

After becoming frustrated from attempting to strip
balsa with MABS, I purchased a $50 tabletop circular saw from Harbor Freight. A
rip fence was constructed from a piece of maple and held to the table top with a
couple of C-clamps. My MABS is now used only for stripping 1/16 or thinner wood.
Strippers work best with thinner wood. One-eigth inch balsa has enough
thickness to provide resistance to the cutting edge and it is likly to
follow the grain.
Make several cuts, dropping the blade a little each time.
OR, use my favorite method. Get an aluminum Meter-stick. It is straight
