DeoxIT is a contact cleaner that may leave a residue within a stranded wire bundle, so I would stick to cleaning your binding posts with DeoxIT rather than try to clean the ends of stranded conductor with it. An advisable approach for a stranded bare wire connection is to place the ends into a binding post hole and tighten the nut with a binding post wrench in order to provide a nominal gas-free interface with maximized contact area, and leave it alone thereafter other than occasionally making sure the binding post nuts have not loosened over time. If many wire strands become broken due to high-torque or if obvious oxidation takes place, cut off all of the wire strands and strip the insulation again in order to provide fresh wire strands to place within the binding posts. Otherwise, you might consider a proper termination of the bi-wire jumpers with speaker cable connectors of your choice.
