Borromean braids

Certain elements in the $n-1$st term of the lower central series of the pure braid group should work. The pure braid group is generated by generators $\beta_{i,j}$ where the $i$th strand pushes a finger over the intervening strands and hooks with the $j$th strand. Then, when $n=3$, the commutator $[\beta_{1,2},\beta_{1,3}]$ is Brunnian in in your sense. For $n=4$ you can consider $[\beta_{1,2},[\beta_{1,3},\beta_{1,4}]]$, etc. You need to make sure your commutator includes every $\beta_{1,k}$.

Something like $[\sigma_1^2,[\sigma_2^2,\sigma_3^2]]$ would also work.

The reason this works is that deleting a strand from the braid kills at least one generator involved in the iterated commutator, so that it collapses to $1$. That's why you need to include a generator $\beta_{i,j}$ that involves each strand.

Ted Stanford has a paper on this topic, giving a set of generators for the kernel. See http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/9907.5072.
