While I can't get the wiring diagram to load to verify my statement, you are only allowed to wire the robot as shown in the wiring diagram. Given that the ground stud is in the wiring diagram, you do have to use the one that is provided. I doubt that your custom ground stud would pass inspection. While it may be a pain to change it, you probably need to be safe.
