Where are you putting grip paste? I’ve read a few lines talking about not putting it on the wedge face, only putting it on the contact side (flat with ridges) which makes sense to me, but not sure.
I’m a bit worried about greasing the screw etc as that would change the effective torque through to the wedge.
I tried the same thing. Clean metal to metal does not slide as well. Just a little bit of grease on the threads and washer and spherical part. Reduced metal to metal friction and I did not have to over torque the bolt.
