That's why I quoted Andy: increasing the stroke width can help. By
starting with a much thicker outer stroke, you end up with a brighter
yet still AA'd outline.
You can also play with (x, y) placement and the sampling algorithm.
An 8 px white stroke on black scaled 256:32 (8x) will not necessarily
end up a single 1 px white stroke on black. Given a case where that
happens, then shifting the line 4 px from that position, downsampling
can give you two 50% gray lines side by side if the algorithm interprets
the source image as having half the line on one side of the pixel
boundary and half on the other. Then if you leave the line where it is,
4 px "off" optimal for one algorithm but use a different sampling
algorithm, you might get good results again.
This same issue is also why on-screen type hinting is difficult.
