What I do after running romex into the panel is use a plastic romex connector, the type that has a small wedge to secure the wire, and put it on the wire backwards, then I snap it into the knockout from inside the panel. Now the wire has a secure safe connection. No one ever said these connectors had to be on the outside and it eliminates the problem trying to get a locknut on a metal connector. BTW my fiberglass fish-sticks are a lifesaver doing this type of work!
