Elaborating on steps I gave a few messages up the thread:

- enlarge the canvas to make room (Image > Canvas Size)
- right click stroke layer in Layers panel, Alpha to Selection menu item
- Select > Grow
- fill selection with stroke color (Edit > Fill with BG Color)

Voila, the stroke is now thicker.

But never mind that.  Here's a re-spin of the logo, with the strokes 
thickened and the wedge shadow reduced again.  It looks rotten at full 
size, but it's just what you need for direct resizing down to 32 px and 
smaller:

Here's what you get when you resize the C-on-terminal with this thicker 
stroke:

Want the stroke even whiter?  Okay, so thicken the stroke some more 
before resizing.
