Some people will argue about doing it but my preference is to strip and

bundle for the crimp to act on.

That's not a smart thing to do. If the connection ever overheats for
some reason, the solder could heat to the point of melting, and allow
the wire to slip right out of the crimp connection! If you want to
solder, crimp first, then apply solder. The other way around can be
dangerous.
