Try this sometime. Strip your solid wire so that about 4-5" of copper is showing. Then twist the smaller wire with your solid, and cut off the extra left on the solid. It seems to me that it is the insulation that makes the wire so stiff, and difficult to make a joint. Then maybe you won't have the problem of the wire nut freewheeling.
