If the wheel has slipped in the dropouts repeatedly, it has likely worn the forward end of the dropout. Once there is a slight taper worn into the dropout faces, it subsequently becomes much easier for the skewer to slip again. Use calipers to measure the DO front and back width, file down the rear of the DO face so it is same width as the front of the DO or you can even file the rear to be slightly narrower than the front.
