the terminal block should be rated for aluminum.
it should be cleaned.
the conductor should be stripped without damaging the strands.
use a rated inhibitor like kno-lox to coat the aluminum exposed surfaces.
apply proper torque.
wiggle conductor --- re-torque.

I've used pin terminals with success.
