Joe so you would fail this based on 110.3(B)?

So using a nut and bolt or a ground clip to terminate the grounding conductor would also be a violation?

This is the type of enforcement that makes people avoid inspections.

The clamp machine screw can (minus the clamp) can safely perform the function of grounding the box.

Being forced to change this by an inspector would only be for the inspectors amusement as it certainly is not a NEC violation.
