Both Park and Ritchey make anti-slip grease designed mainly for Carbon posts but it might help you out here as well. It kind of feels like grease with sandblasting media suspended in it. I've started using the Park stuff on stems and seatposts and backing off on the torque, just for the heck of it. I have not had slipping issues, so I can't comment if it will cure them.
