I mean you can, there are a couple times when that can make sense (mainly for LN2 pots on GPUs), but for the most part this is much messier and easier to mess up.
Just put a rice sized dollop of paste on the CPU and then tighten down the cooler, the paste itself will spread out well enough, you don't need to worry about spreading it out yourself if you're using something with an IHS like a CPU (on a GPU then spreading the paste makes sense).
