Even better are the new rotating head 10mm spanners now available. Used one to change saddles on my FG last season, something I do every decade or so, worked a treat.
Yes, grease is good. The Campy offset wrench designed for these posts is only marginally better than useless, in my experience. The best tool I've found is a 10mm flex-head ratchet, and the finer the ratchet, the better. It's still a fiddly job compared to single-bolt posts, but it does allow you to get the bolts adequately tight and once set, they stay put.
