"I don't see how this would help. At least when I'm fighting a vampire, I'm not in danger of tripping over my own feet." Still, he uses the small talk to adjust his grip on the dagger slightly, holding it in a way that's more along the lines of how Lambert mentioned. It's still a bit wonky, but certainly better than what he's been doing before.

Lunging towards Lambert, Strange attempts to slash his dagger at the other man's eyes. But really, the key word here is attempts. Not only is Strange's aim off but the slowing effect of the magic circle causes him to stumble forwards, mind moving waaaay faster than his body. He at least slashes in the general vicinity of Lambert's eyes...though the slash happens a couple of inches away from the man's face. It's nowhere close to connecting, which is probably a good thing.
