the allen key, wrap it in plastic or maybe coat it with a non stick
cooking spray. I never said it was a classy solution......
Just wanted to say this, except with loctite.

Edit: preventing rounding off bolt heads: 1) good wrench 2) use it properly. Always insert the wrench fully, keep inserted fully, and hold it straight with your thumb as you turn it. Not just grab the end and yank it, cuz that'll kill the bolt sooner or later. Having decent boltas doesn't hurt, either...
