Any antiseize will work ...unless it is the exhaust system that gets hot - then copper slip.
A thread lock ... umm as the problem described is getting the thing apart thread lock will work against that. So ... unless your loosing the bolt/screw then use the antisize.
Stainless bolts can also be had with a shoulder (shank, an unthreaded portion of the bolt/screw), usually purchasing a longer one will get a shoulder - cut the threaded porting as required.

A very usefull tool for damaged Philips screw heads .. an impact screw driver - hit with a hammer this;
hits downwards on the screw thread - this can free the thread
hits downwards on the screw head - stops the screwdriver rising out of the head
a cam action inside the impact screwdriver takes some of the downwards force to apply an undoing torque to the screw
