Do you feel that it can be helpful to sometimes view strengthen questions as weakening the opposite of the conclusion, and vice-versa? And when I say opposite, I mean the logical opposite.

I actually think that approach is dangerous. It's sufficient for easier weaken questions but the most important thing about weaken/strengthen question is to tackle the assumption, and it's relationship to the conclusion. Harder weaken questions will prey on your tendency to tackle the conclusion without regards to the assumption.
I always want to come up with some formula for the question types, but every time I do the test spanks me by capitalizing on my formulaic approach. Also, this process you describe sounds like way too many levels of abstraction to handle under the pressure on test day. Weaken the negation sounds a lot scarier than strengthen lol
