Back-wrapping or so it is called was common for electricians and homeowners BUT it lacks originality. It was possible to ground out the box this way but there was no "intimate" connection with the box as in "around a screw." Also what sometimes happened is that the wire was so firmly clamped that the wire insulation was smashed and created a high resistance short that wouldn't manifest itself until it was too late [FIRE! FIRE!]
