Soldering to programming points?

Sorry all, I'm new to these little STM32 things, and I'm having trouble. I'm using the supplied 22 gauge wire to try and connect one to another's programming pads on the board, but they are so small and close together that I cannot figure it out. I passed it off on a couple of my electrical engineering friends, and none of us have been able to get 4 tiny, precise solder points without the cables all touching each other.

Does anybody have any tips for doing this? I've tried tinning the wire, twisting it up into its smallest possible size, but still it seems much too large to fit 4 in a row.

I would check for other points to solder on. Perhaps scape off the lacquer cover of a PCB trace.

In the worst, case, write the board off and get a board you can properly access.
