You can use a thin sponge soaked anti-seize and just touch the threads to the sponge. Since it only takes a minute amount of lube to prevent galling, you can prep all your bolts in the shop and bag them. Zip lock the sponge for the next job.

My 2 cents; I believe that the torque specs for an engineered assembly are put in there for a reason. Ignoring them puts the installer on the hook for any failures. Aside from being the right thing to do, using torque wrenches helps avoid assuming unnecessary financial risk which my thin margins cannot afford. Kurt Johnsen
