Shame- only bodge that might work would be to split the live wire into 2
cables similarly sized, and pass one through the coil with the other round
the outside- it would be a bit hit-or-miss but if you put a longer wire
through the coil (higher resistance, less current) and shorten it to suit
(gradually increasing the current through the coil), you might manage to
get it working reliably.

Live- terminal block- 1m piece of wire, same size as live conductor
\
short bypass wire, same size as live conductor
