In fact, for Sierpinski/Riesel base b, we can use srsieve to sieve the sequence k*b^n+-1 for primes p not dividing b-1 (since gcd(k*b^n+-1,b-1) = gcd(k+-1,b-1) for all n), and initialized the list of candidates to not include n for which there is some prime p dividing b-1 for which p dividing (k*b^n+-1)/gcd(k+-1,b-1)
