I use a thread dope meant for stainless tubing. It lubricates and does not set up hard.
On a rear wheel that had 100kg tension on the drive side I had the spoke nipples unwind when the rear wheel was highly loaded( I weighed 190 and the saddle bags had about 40lbs. of gear in them).
After that I began using the thread compound instead of oil oir grease.
