[Elecraft] mounting toroids

I'm having trouble figuring out how to properly 'route' all the leads coming
from toroids with secondary windings.

After winding/tinning, I'm finding I end up with the primary winding leads &
maybe one secondary lead in a good position at the 'bottom' of the core
(e.g. close to the solder pads) but inevitably there is one secondary lead
that ends up somewhere at the 'top' of the core (at least a good 45-60
degrees around the core away from the rest of the leads).

How do you route this 'rogue' wire back down to the appropriate solder pad
without 'decoupling' that last turn from the core?

Thanks,
