OK,

I understand 100%.

Anyway, if someone here have experiences with solid steel wire...go ahead.

I saw few mast installed with solid steel wire (1/4") here...they don´t
use clamps, they just twist the extra wire over the "live" side of the
wire.


It probably works. The question would be whether it untwists before something else fails. it might well be "strong enough"

You could always do a test. get some wire, wrap it around something sturdy, twist over the live side, then pull on it with a car or a jack or a comealong and see what happens.
