Why try to connect the wire or braid directly to the ground lug?
Soldering a lug onto the end of a wire or braid makes it "oh so easy" to attach.

Yes, it is a hassle getting a stiff copper wire on that little ground screw. I use 1" braid with a strip of copper sheet folded and soldered over the end and a screw hole drilled through-- basically, homemade flat terminal lugs on the ends of the braid. Very easy to manage now.
