What do you mean by
"It will only affect the files that were make installed
  not the files used by CPack" ?

CPack does call "cmake -P cmake_install.cmake" so
**all files** packaged by CPack are somehow **installed** previously.

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX has a CPack-time value which is set by CPack
when installing file on the CPack-private location so you should escape it
in order to prevent its evaluation at CMake-time, i.e.

install( CODE "file(GLOB installedLibrares
\${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/*.so)
               execute_process(COMMAND strip ${installedLibrares})
        ")

should work even if I'd rather create a script
"strip-all-installed-file.cmake"
and do
install(SCRIPT strip-all-installed-files.cmake)

then the content of "strip-all-installed-files.cmake" does not need
escaping.
