Not all butt connectors need crimping Durite 0-001-92 and 0-001-93 for 1.8 - 2.5mm² and 2.4 - 4.5mm² are heat shrink solder types although I had always considered Durite as a auto electrics supplier.
Since it would seem only extending within the socket box then WAGO connectors would be the way to go.
I have had problems with pre-insulated crimps with solid wires but the un-insulated types seem to be OK I have used them on 50mm Alloy without problems they were special for the cable and shaped to fit but as a result can't see the regulations saying not for use with solid that would be down to manufacturer.
