won't be green and will be cadmium or zinc plated.

Alternatively, a longer ground might be screwed through a nut on the
backside of the fixture but this would be inconvenient.

Hi,
Of course.

You mean, of course NOT. Two wires under one screw is a Code violation except
where the terminals are specifically listed for multiple wires.
