Insert bare stranded wire, tighten screw.
I really dislike these types of connections. In my experience the set screw needs to be retightened often, the copper gets all oxidized, the screws can loosen up and the wires fall out. Yesterda...

Set screw terminals have been used for 50+ yrs, never heard a complaint till now. Yes, maybe they are designed more for solid wire. I learned 50 yrs ago to tin, even heavily solder stranded wire. And yes, the set screw needs tightening, and then retighten, maybe even 3 to 4 times before they stop turning. The PD converters, and probably many more use set screw terminals. I really never saw a problem when done correctly.
If the strand wire is a problem, why not solder a solid maybe even larger pc of copper on the end, sealed w/ shrink wrap, (for cosmetic reason only)
