Can a wire be wrapped around a screw clockwise or counter clockwise?

Well, it CAN be wrapped either way, but because standard screws tighten when turned clockwise:
- if the wire is wrapped around the screw clockwise tightening the screw will pull the wire tighter around the screw
- if the wire is wrapped around the screw counterclockwise tightening the screw will push the wire away from the screw making it loose and maybe even popping the wire out from under the screw

Make your own ground screw. Use a #8 x 1/2"or #10 x 1/2" sheet metal pan head screw and screw it into one of the holes in the back of the box. In the back of the box you might see a raised portion where the original ground screw came out of, use that hole. Wrap the ground wire around the pan head screw and it will tighten up very nicely and make a good ground.
