I don't either, because the approved euro terminal strips don't
provide plates for the smaller wire sizes.  I also use the euro
terminal strips inside appliances, and if I'm connecting finely
stranded wire, I tin the wire with 63-37 solder to consolidate it, and
clamp that.

DON'T! The tin will flow slowly under pressure, and loose the connection.
It was a common habit in the Netherlands until forbidden. With a reason.

 We had been commissioned to build a test set for an IBM division.
We "went the extra mile" and tinned the stranded wire before securing
under screws.
 Their inspector came in and "failed" every such connection
 In hindsight, it made perfect sense.
 

Unless of course you mean you have a clamp with a spring that will adjust?

Or perhaps actually solder the brass connector, and then screw the connector.
