I must be missing something.  With `emacs -q' (28.1) and the proposed
test case bibtex-parse-entry honors all braces.  Same with any other
entries I tested.  Try

M-: (bibtex-parse-entries)

Certainly, stripping off the braces would turn valid LaTeX code into
gibberish.

There is also bibtex-autokey-get-field that comes with an optional arg
CHANGE-LIST which is most often bibtex-autokey-transcriptions.  This
massages the field values in all kinds of ways.  But it serves an
entirely different purpose.
