Pre-tinning is a very good idea. Less possibility of a stray wire.
Purchase some bullet connectors and a six way connector. Solder the bullet
connectors onto the five wires that are to go to one terminal. Make a sixth
wire, to go from the six way connector to the position. I do this on the
ignition switch, where they are tryig to put four wires under one screw.
