That would require taking it apart and removing the wire from the board - it is not easy, and it's not designed for user removal, and trying to fit larger wire isn't going to happen due to the hole size. It's the one issue I have with the MMP over something like a Tekin RX8 with its excellent solder posts.
Thicker wire shouldn't be required. It's 12 AWG Deans wire (I did resolder the board for it - wasn't easy, the solder used didn't like to melt all the way through), which is more than enough for this application. In engineering terms, 12 AWG will do 41A, but that's without any natural airflow, and when it's expected to work for years on end. 12 AWG is fine. Wouldn't want to go any smaller really, but you have to remember that this won't be pulling any more current than a 4.5T brushless motor in a 10th due to the much higher voltage. While power requirements are higher, the tripled voltage divides my current requirement by 3. One of the best reasons for using 6S is for reduced heat/increased efficiency.
