Default More than one wire to a hole/set-screw on neutral bus bar?

I have no problems putting more than one wire into a hole in a bus bar and
tightening down a screw onto them. It has got to be more solid and safer
than a wire nut. However, if this is an old box with screws that you wrap
the wire around under the screw head, don't do it. Only one wire per screw
head.
