In summary

From Middle High German streifen, from Old High German *streifen (in abastreifen > modern abstreifen), from Proto-Germanic *straipijaną, *stripōną (“to touch”), of uncertain ultimate origin. Pokorny derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *ster-, *strē- (“strip, streak”), for which see Strahl (“beam, ray”), while Pfeifer instead takes the word as related to Streifen (“strip”), with semantic linkage "strip, pull off by sliding" > "touch glidingly, brush" > "wander around".
