It's not recommended, but common enough that several grip makers relieve the area in front of the strain screw to allow it.

If you only plan on using the revolver for target practice or competition, I suggest finding the amount of back-off that works reliably for your needs, measure this amount by the number of screw turns divided by the thread pitch and remove this amount from the tip of the screw. Then tighten the screw down so it sets tight on the shoulder. YMMV
