I've been doing this for almost four decades, apparently they've amended the code to allow compression connectors UL listed or approved for the purpose of bonding, this still doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Just as its perfectly fine to use the device (meaning the receptacle) as a means of circuit continuity, IE back stabbing or wrapping the screws, but any electrician worth his salt would tail the wire's first, and not use a compression connector as part of the equipment ground integrity.
