Default The little holes in PL259

What's the solution to soldering through to the underlying braid in a PL259
if the only
soldering iron small enough to engage the holes is a low-power jobbie?

Perchance the solution lies in using a junior hacksaw to make a slot between
two of the holes
so the big iron can get in there?

This is for an outdoors connection, so I want to ensure that it is sound.
