You need to slide a piece of brass or plastic tubing over the pushrod end before you put the clevis on. Then glue the tubing to the fuselage side at the exit point. This is usually done with tubing that is very thin and fits the wire very closely. This will prevent the problem you have described. If you're not up to doing all of this, then using the 4-40 wire ends was the correct decision. Even then I will using tubing fastened (anchored) to the fuselage as 4-40 will also bend if subjected to enough pressure.
