It certainly is not necessary to epoxy in the bolts and you may regret it ten years from now if you buggered up an attach fitting while putting the plane on a trailer or something.
As far as a lubricant, I don't think you need one, but if you did maybe a wax? Wood furniture polish maybe?

I put a flox mix on the bolts before sliding them in to take up any clearance that may have existed---------yes they are in for the long haul.
