stripchart() will not honor that argument, which is why you are getting
the error.
Try calling the following before calling stripchart():
par(yaxt = "n", xaxt = "n", bty = "n")
This will result in the axes being suppressed and no surrounding box.
Example:
# Save parameters to restore them after the plot
old.par <- par(no.readonly = TRUE)
x <- rnorm(50)
par(yaxt = "n", xaxt = "n", bty = "n")
stripchart(x)
# Restore the pars back to initial settings
par(old.par)
See ?par for more information on the above graphic parameters.
