Default wirenutting twisted and solid wire

Does anyone have a sure fire method for wirenutting/pigtailing stranded and
solid wire together? Seems like when I do it half the time the stranded
will pull out when light force is applied to the wire. Does it help to cut
the solid wire a bit shorter than the stranded wire so that the stranded
wire can wrap around the end of the solid wire and not push out when screwed
onto the wire nut?
