Loctite is anaerobic, it cures in the absence of air.

Blue- temporary
Red- semi-permanent
Green- permanent

Even though green is permanent, it will remove with heat.

The best method I've found is grinding a divit, so that the setscrew can 'fall into' it. Then you can get away with blue or red loctite. The best way to do that is with a diamond ball burr set for your Dremel. Just do a search for those, they're cheap and last a loong time.
