When I use the "replace with After Effects composition" option on text/captions, it removes the stroke effect from the text.

During replacement, After effects converts Premiere Pro's text into an Ae editabe text layer, so you will lose some Pr text options, like shadows.

Regarding strokes, in Pr you have the option to set the stroke to be outside, centered, or inside; while in Ae it will be centered only, so it will look thinner, you may want to double the stroke size in Ae to maintain the same look of Pr.

Yep, I realized that I could edit the text individually in AE.

Facing another issue. All of the text layers are precomposed which means I have to manually open the layer and add in the stroke. Is there a workaround to this? Doing it manually would be very tedious

Without a workflow description, there is no way to figure out where the problem lies. We need screenshots (drag them to the reply field instead of using the Drag & drop here tool so they are embedded and we don't need to download them). The screenshots need to show the After Effects UI with the modified properties of the text layer revealed (press 'uu') and a description of how you set things up.

I am guessing that you may have incorrectly set up a text animator.
