Isomat ball stem connections. Locktite?

[Patrick of M]

I have an Isomat mat with Nosreman connections. Various connection ball stems screw into a blind threaded hole on the Norseman (not involved in the Norseman compression fitting).
The previous owner seems to have used lanacote or something on these threaded connections. I appreciated the lube/corrosion protection during disassembly, but am a little concerned about the the threaded connectors working loose.
As I went through the rigging none of them had loosened by themselves, and the boat has done many miles/years at sea.

My inclination is to clean everything, put some lube corrosion paste in the bottom 2/3 ot the hole, and hit the male thread with loctite for the last 3rd of insertion.

Am I over thinking this?

I have lots of other things to do (its a ketch so lots of rigging) so if anyone thinks just the lanacote is enough (as the PO successfully did) let me know.

Cheers.

How about anti sieze on the main body threads plus a lock nut with loktite?

Hmmm, that idea would work if there are threads left exposed (I think maybe only 1-2mm), but I think the ball stems
bottom out in the fitting, essentially using the bottom as a lock nut. I'll check next time I'm at the boat.
Good idea though.
