2. Drag an (invisible) line (a ray, radius) from the actual stroke width indicator into canvas.

   

3. Then – still with left mouse button pressed – change the angle of this invisible line.

4. Finally, when you are satisfied with the new stroke width, release the mouse button:

 

Note:
This method is very similar to the method for changing a color in my other answer.
