Use PDBCopy.
pdbcopy is part of the Debugging Tools for Windows which is available through the Windows SDK

Answer 2

You can create a stripped pdb file that doesn't contain; Type information, Line number information, Per-object file CodeView symbols such as those for functions, locals, and static data. See the /PDBSTRIPPED compiler option.

EDIT: There does appear to be a utility that is part of the DDK that can convert a full symbol file to a stripped symbol file it is called BinPlace the forum I found the information on suggested there might be problems with certain versions of the utility so be warned (forum article).
