My only concern with using a screw as a nub tool is that many screws are plated in the production process. Some of the plating materials (cadmium comes to mind) are extremely bad for your health. I wouldn't want to take risks with the potential for ingesting/"inhaling" anything these plating materials might give off if heated.

I just stick with toothpicks.
