When I was designing missiles and bombs, we used a polyimide epoxy primer on stainless screws in aluminum.  It acted both as a barrier coat (faying surface sealer) and a thread locker.  It worked well in products that had a 30 year storage life requirement.  Loctite also makes faying surface se

We used MIL-P-23337 High Solids Poly Imide Epoxy Primer in the Missile business.  We used it not only as a paint but as  a faying surface sealer and as a locking compound.  Great stuff.  We would mix up a batch into small specimen cups and freeze them.  Pull them out when we need to use them.
