What wire are you using? They are designed for 22ga solid wire. Not much you can do about modern resistors though.

>28awg solid core wire
If you look at ads for solderless breadboards back in the late 70s, the proper wire gauge is 22awg solid. Yes I know cheap-ass chink resistors have a lot thinner wire these days, but that doesn't make it right. 22 gauge is the only stuff you can be sure of, because that's what they were designed for.
Cat5 solid wire is 24 gauge, it's sort of okay, but 28? I use 30awg wrap wire for bodge wires. 28ga in a solderless breadboard is just begging for shit to flake out on you when the metal fingers wear out. If you use that shit, don't blame the breadboard, blame your own sorry cheap ass for using that gay wire.
If you're going to be cheap, at least find some cat5 solid. (that's the stuff that goes in the walls)
