If he tightens them enough before the locktite dries, then this won't be an issue. It sounds like they're self-loosening from not being tightened enough. OP, try using the correct tool, chainring bolt screwdriver, and hex wrench, before going with locktite. This happend to me in the past, I was not tightening them with enough torque.
