Well, 3 options, depending on how OCD you wanna be.
1) Make conductive connected for the case components so they are all physically bonded, then use a Self Tapping screw with serrated washer for the ground screw and run a ground lead from that to a proper "earth ground".
2) Just use a larger screw to clean the threads out with a lock/serrated washer and wire the ground, the case is likely already bonded (somewhat) because they are metal & screwed together.
3) Ignore it and continue onwards.
I have been pondering this very issue for a while. All my previous packs have never been grounded as such, given that the cases were made out of 3/4" Furniture Grade plywood. My update setup uses a Metal Shelf with composite shelves, it's completely isolated as the floor of the Powerhouse is covered with 3/4" thick rubber Horse Stall Matt... (Seemed a sensible notion due to all the power in there & the possibility of wet exists.) OKAY call it cheap insurance.
