It's my understanding that you may use stranded MC.

410.54 Pendant Conductors for Incandescent Filament Lamps.
(E) Stranding. Stranded conductors shall be used for wiring
on luminaire chains and on other movable or flexible parts.

One could argue that this doesn't apply to LED fixtures.

(E) pertains to 410.56 not 410.54. Anyway it says conductors not cables. This has been in the NEC since individual conductors were used on fixture chains.
