Best bet is to use a solder compatible with stainless steel and solder the ends. That will let out slip cables in and out reliably without fraying. Also, while the inner wire is out measure cut and solder a backup cable or two, just in case.
What is the appropriate solder and flux to use on Stainless cable? I haven't found a solder that works with it. I used to exclusively use this technique BITD when cables weren't stainless. I would like to return to it.
