Default Socket terminal screws not grabbing cable....

Bought some sockets today, put the 2.5mm in, tightened the screw, the
cable promptly fell back out as the screw left too much room at either side.

What would a proper electrician do in this circumstance?
I folded the cable double but not really happy. Is this a common 'problem'?

Wouldn't mind if i'd got them at the pound shop but they came from an
electrical wholesaler.
