Is there a particular technique to soldering these ...... the issue
is stripping the cores, it just seems to fray and get in a mess.

There are a mass of wires in each core ... as I try to scrape they
just all come open and stand a real risk of shorting.

Wonder how they manage during manufacture

crimping or a solder pot

Does anyone remember those wiring pens we used to use for bread

It dispensed what looked like 38SWG enamelled wire, but the enamel would
melt as soon as you touched it with an iron.

I seem to remember a warning about cyanide poisoning as well.
