This has happened to me. You can’t pull the cord down to expose the copper. And you can’t just cut the paracording as it’s just too much. Here’s my advice. Get some crafting shears (I usethe Plato model 170 shears) and start from the top. Just clip, and pull. Start to cut the cord in half. It’s gonna be worth it because as you grow your collection of parts you’re gonna need cables and boards. They’re the most important supplies. Even if you gotta cut it all the way down you can still salvage the cord. Now everyone will tell you you dont need the copper. I like to keep it just as an integrity thing but a lot of people just scrap it. As I have no personal proof if it works or doesn’t work I just keep it to stay as close to the OEM cable as possible. Cut the cord down until you pass the problematic areas and then you can scrap the copper. I didn’t know to cut the cord like this and I lost my first cable and paracord. Eventually you’ll get your stride though.
I have a leather punch that I'll use to pop a hole in a velcro strip, then it goes onto the backboard w/ a screw and a washer.
[Addendum] I do always have a pair of flush-cutters in my backpack or toolbox to clip cable ties, though. 'Cuz honestly I do still use cable ties a lot.
