Say perhaps you get stranded wire cheap or for free perhaps. Stranded wire

But not to code. Use the correct receptacles for the type of
wire.


Stranded THHN/THWN is a listed wire type for most binding terminal
devices. (receptacles and switches)
The workmanship requirement may be a stretch for some unqualified
installers.
