Blue loctite is what you need.

blue locktite is good just dont plan on making any gearing adjustments soon as the loctite is sometimes hard to break loose. this can really suck when trying to gear for a certain track

Blue locktite is easy to break off, as long as the screw isn't stripped. Heating them up helps break them off too so as long as its not the red stuff you can get it off.
