Another technique that works is to use a paste car wax. Liberally smear it onto the bolt threads and screw them in place. When I bed rifle actions, I use an epoxy material and the only way to keep the bedding screws (bolts, actually) from becoming "one with the action" is to use the "Turtle Wax approach". It's worked for me for years on literally over hundreds of rifle actions.
