We always use wire cutters to snip a little slot out of the ring right by the wire connection resulting is a hook. Much easier to wire and similar protection against loose connections.

Shavings inside aren't a guarantee of failure, it just makes it likely. If I were you, I would open up all of them and clean them out thoroughly. I'm not sure what the most appropriate way is... perhaps an air duster. You can probably get advice from TI. I wouldn't use them until they were cleaned though.
