You are forgeting that even antipersonel mines could stop Stryker,not M113.
Directly running over an AP mine can trash a single wheel which will not stop a Stryker.

A Claymore-style fragmentation mine may puncture all the wheels on one side with a lot of luck, but the Stryker use run-flats and can adjust pressure in the wheels on the other side for trim, so this will not stop it either.

With luck an AP mine detonating in direct contact with the track can break it and completely immobilize a M113 until repaired.
