I dont have enough room in a metal box and in a daisy chain situation, i do not want to rely on the outlet to carry amps.
i dont have enough wire or room to pigtail.

dont flame me for asking.. i searched forums AND google with no luck

can i straight stab 1-12gauge wire under each side of a single screw.
in other words
no loop-straight stripped wire under each half of the same screw on an outlet.
