Nope not allowed, regardless, not for those size conductors.

What you read, I am assuming - because it is in most panels, is that two GROUNDING or *equipment ground* conductors are allowed.

NOT two "neutrals" or "groundED conductors".

Only when you get to paralleled conductors, which must be 1/0 and larger, is that allowed, and only then *if the terminal is identified* for more than one conductor.
