Hi D
i) the strings you're using are squash strings so I guess you're using it as a hybrid....unless you're trying to string a squash rqt??
ii) cut the end to a fine point with your cutters, or cut it with a stanley/craft knife
iii) what machine are you using, and what rqt?

Hi D
ok, 03 tours are not the easiest when tie-off the crosses, the mains shouldn't be a problem. As said in my previous post, cut the end to a sharp point. Take you time so you don't keep bending the string.
Can you confirm that you're stringing the mains with this Titan string? Also what machine are you using?

Hi D
ok, if you're finding it that hard then plan ahead. Weave in the titan (multi/soft string) crosses (but don't tenison) and place the end in the tie-off hole. Complete the mains and tie-off as usual. You'll then have the end in the tie-off hole ready for when you start the crosses. The harder one to do, if you're having trouble at the start of the crosses, is the tie-off as the hole tends to be a tighter fix. If you persevere then it will hold you instead when you do more of a similar string.

String the 1st 6 mains on each side as usual, weave in the top cross and place the end of it in the hole where you'll tie it off, continue stringing the mains as usual (remembering that you'll have to weave it thru the loose cross string) and tie-off. If you use a starting knot, do that as normal and then tension 1st cross string which you've already weaved. Then continue down the rqt in your usual method.

but to end it coz it so tight to fit in at tieoff for x's
You're a "stringing master", figure it out! 
I had the same experience with some soft string before. To my observation, the plastic tube at the tie off holes on a used grommet are usually not in good shapes. I used the awl to fix up the their shapes(making sure they're round before mounting the frame). When it came to tie off the soft string, cut the string at a very sharp angle. It should go through the shared hole(round shape) easily. Once the tip comes out of the hole, use a nose pliers to pull it through!
Hope it works for you!
