Locktite would still be a dumb idea because you'd have problems making the wheel rideable when you bent the rim and wanted to get home.
I just want a nice slick spoke lube, can I use anti-seize? or regular teflon grease?
Yes. I use anti-seize on the spoke threads and have had no problems removing and reusing alloy nipples when I replace rims up to 14 years later.
