The canonization process had not yet been invented when he was widely acclaimed to be a saint by the early Church; therefore, the answer is that he was not canonized, but is nonetheless recognized as a saint.

No person is ever canonized while still living. If it ever happened in history (I have no knowledge of it) it was a monumental blunder. The idea of canonization into sainthood in the Roman Catholic church is that it is a reliable declaration that the person's soul has ascended into heaven.

He was not canonized since the process of canonization did not exist for nearly 1000 years after he died. He was declared a saint by the early Christian community based on his martyrdom. Pope St. Gelasius confirmed his sainthood a couple centuries later and fixed his feast day as February 14.

Has a saint ever been stripped of his or her title?

Once a saint, always a saint. However, there have been a number of saints who have been dropped from the calendar of saints - St. Christopher, Saint Valentine of Rome, Saint Ursula, Saint Philomena are examples. They may have existed but virtually nothing is know about them or even if they ever existed. Usually, their cult (following) is allowed and their feast days can still be celebrated in particular parishes. There are others who have even had their cults suppressed, such as Saint Barbara and Saint Olivia. While they may have existed, all that is known about them is based on legend and myth. Some were actually never actual people but were simply characters in pious tales that were circulating in the early days of the Church.If a person was officially canonized, that very act is considered infallible and irrevocable. None of those removed from the calendar of saints were ever officially canonized.
