"a wet grooved rwy should be considered dry", yes, that is so, but not legally so. Grooving greatly increases safety on a wet runway, but legally, a wet runway is a wet runway, grooved or not.

Sand will improve the braking coefficient on a wet or contaminated runway, but most certainly not on a dry runway (Boeing's words, not mine).
