I'm not the greatest at fixing edges without re-honing but I know when I first started, I wasn't stropping enough - just a few strokes and I thought I was good to go.

Maybe try stopping again, using as little pressure as possible until it seems like you're making progress. Keep in mind, you're still very new and your technique isn't consistent yet so these issues may still be due to user error rather than stropping. Very hard to say either way, though.
