I would like to animate a circle mask with a radial wipe, but I would also like the circle to have a white stroke. Is this possible?
When I select the ellipse tool, the Fill and Stroke menu disappear.
you need to deselect all the layers to create a shape layer.
Once me circle mask is made, I can't seem to find a way to give it a width.
a mask's its main purpose is to hide or reveal something. why are you creating a stroke? what exactly are you trying to do? its better to show us so that we may offer the right workflow for the task.
having said that, if you want a pixel stroke around your mask, you can use the stroke effect.

use a circle shape layer with a stroke and add a trim path operator.

Just to expand on what Roei Tzoref was saying, using a Shape Layer will give you much better stroke control and options compared to the Stroke effect.
You can easily add and control several stroke effects like trimming, dashed strokes, round caps, round corners, twist, wiggles, repeaters, and more. It cannot taper a stroke, however (Adobe, please?)
To use it you must create a Shape Layer, and not a mask.
