Is there a reason that shouldn't be done?I was worried about you putting a 22-24ga solid wire in a solderpot sized for 18ga stranded.

Seriously, the problem is with stripping the Cat5 without nicking it, making it subject to future fracture. Might work, might not. Why take the chance? Be conservative. The audience will like you for it.
FYI, ETC makes a CAT5 insulation displacement XLR-5 wall mount, and perhaps others do as well.
It's not a 'reasonable' alternative. It is 'accepted' in the standard ANSI E1.27-2: STANDARD WIRING PRACTICE FOR PERMANENTLY INSTALLED CONTROL CABLES FOR USE WITH ANSI E1.11 DMX512-A See here. And here.
Touche! (It is, of course.)Why can't it be reasonable AND acceptable?
