The metal box of each motherboard power supply is also grounded
so there is never a danger of shock.

Also, every connector has the metal contacts buried in plastic.
There is no way for a human to contact them even if he desired.

I used to actually ground myself via a wrist strap to drain away
any static charge before working on the MB, but I don't do that
anymore.  I can just touch the power supply case which is grounded.

Your concerns border on insanity.  You should consult a qualified
neurologist.
