Loctite is primarily beneficial when high torque cannot be used, such as when threading a steel bolt into an aluminum part.

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.
