The burr on stainless is likely to be much more brittle than the burr on 1084, I see that in my knives. I have several methods that I use to remove the burr. Sometimes a hard leather strop, just roll the edge a little on the leather as you pull the blade.
I also have a plastic stick that came from Razor Edge and is designed to remove a burr. Draw the edge through the plastic (cut into the plastic lightly) to peel off the burr.
Sometimes I'll just slice lightly into a fresh piece of stiff cardboard and that takes most of it off.
A large 1" diameter ceramic stick is also good.
After doing one of these things I don't worry too much about it any more. Whatever little bit of wire might remain will come off when the knife is used ...
