I *am* using a homemade lug, as stated. It's neater than cramming 1" of
braid into the round barrel of a terminal lug. The braid lays flat right
off the screw terminal and onto the desk surface, no bunching into the lug.

Why try to connect the wire or braid directly to the ground lug?
Soldering a lug onto the end of a wire or braid makes it "oh so easy" to
attach.

Yes, it is a hassle getting a stiff copper wire on that little ground
screw. I use 1" braid with a strip of copper sheet folded and soldered
over the end and a screw hole drilled through-- basically, homemade
flat terminal lugs on the ends of the braid. Very easy to manage now.
