The clip on a 66 block is supposed to crush the insulation thereby exposing the conductor. Because the conductor is solid this can easily happen. The solid conductor is then wedged down in the slot and held there by spring tension.
If you try to use a stranded insulated conductor the insulation displacement (crushing) will be unreliable because the stranded conductor is soft and will tend to deform under the insulation. The soft bundle of strands will also deform when forced down in the slot and because the slot is a "V" shape (narrower at the bottom) only those strands at the bottom will be held tightly, the rest won't make proper contact.
