The simplest way is to run all the leads to a convenient location
(toward the dimmer would make sense) and add one more wire to the
bundle. Use a large splice crimp to join them all, then run the
'extra' wire to the dimmer. You can modify this idea slightly by doing
it in 2 or 3 stages with just a few wires in each splice, then sum the
'extras' with one more to the dimmer.
Bob details a similar technique to get power into multiple pins of a
d-sub connector when more current is needed than one pin can carry.
