Applying Loctite may not be a good idea, this would probably act as a lubricant and using a torque wrench would allow the screw to be turned more than the specification value which is for a metal to metal contact. When cured the release torque required may leed to the head snapping off.
I realize that some people use steel or stainless steel screws but the OEM's are some aluminum alloy and that is what my comments refer

so seems that somebody has considered using loctite blue...
but havent seen any really using it-or similar-neither results...
