A small piece of schrinking tube (like the on use in electricity to isolate
connections) can solve the problem of breaking the windings...

Subject: Re: [HG] Metal strings for HG
Another reason not to use metal strings for drones is if the wound
portion of the strings runs over the sharp angle of the ear there is a
real possibility for breakage of the core, in which case the string is
shot. Gut and gut core do not have this problem and are therefore much
more durable for drones.

To my my personal observation metal (core) strings are usually stronger
in sound than compareable other strings. For me this is a reason not to
use them for drones. They would be too loud to my tase loud at the right
pitch and too slack at the right volume.
