solid core and stranded wire of the same gauge present the identical cross sectional area to electrical signal. There is no electrical difference between solid core and stranded in that respect.
The difference in voltage transmission between DC and AC is a completely unrelated factor ( at least in terms of resistance). AC can be pumped at much longer distances but with extremely high voltages and still be down converting with a transformer present a decent amperage. DC simply drops with the increased length due to the internal wire resistance. However, remember AC voltage is akin to a push-pull situation where input voltage "pushes" electrons down the conductor creating a pressure at the output end.
The push pull nature makes it more efficient at transmitting voltages over a long distance. DC is like pouring water down a hose; you can see the effects even with a garden hose as the pressure drops over distance.
