It can be hard to find metal.  My laptop has a DB-15F for an external 
monitor or projector on the side, and I get a chassis connection there 
using a short screw in one of the two tie-down nuts.  Seems to work fine.

FWIW:  Youngest son and family gave me the Steve Jobs biography for 
Christmas.  I'm about half way through, but far enough to understand 
that Jobs very specifically intended that users not be able to take the 
Mac apart, to the extent that they used some screws that required a 
special tool.  Don't know about the Macbook Pro, but if I had one, I 
don't think I'd take the screws out.  He was pretty paranoid about this 
... it might self-destruct. :-)
