Hello:

In a series of posts a while back, it was generally agreed that one
should, to be code compliant, use a "dedicated" grounding screw to
fasten the green wire to a metal gang switch/outlet box.

Also, that using the screw that held the box against a wooden stud was not
acceptable.

Can't find any metal boxes in my local hardware store that comes with a
dedicated
grounding screw, or does there seem to be a threaded hole for.

Often the hole isn't threaded. When you buy the green grounding
pigtail with one end already wrapped around a screw, the screw is
self-tapping and will make it's own threads. Often you will see 3 or
4 holes in the box and one or two will be slightly smaller. These are
the ones that the screw will fit.

HTH,

Paul
