This is a 2/0 CU Feeder wire coming into the main subpanel on a 200A service. There are no nicks in the copper wire and from the front side everything looks good.

But upon further inspection, the tiniest bit of wire insulation is under the lug on the back side.

Does this pose any type of threat for a bad connection or an unsafe electrical situation? Or is this completely safe and a non-issue?

No it's ok it's not under the set screw.
Thanks. Just to confirm, this is on the back side. The insulation is slightly between the wire and lug.

I get the screw is higher up, but the screw is on the front side. This picture above is the back side view. This use perfectly safe?
