It can be , if your referring to the winds given on tafs an metars then they are always 3 figures . I cant recall ever having seen north referred to as 000
I think and I stand to be corrected that it is normal to refer to it as 360 .
You certainly wouldnt be told by atc or other to turn heading 000 it would always be 360.
Cant give you the exact reference that would confirm the protocol though
