That would be about as effective as using nylocks.
Heat is a common method of getting locktighted fasteners back apart. I've
had to resort to that on a couple occasions.
Maybe that's one of the "redesign" fastening methods, use a clamp of some
sort where the threaded fasteners is not subjected to the full heat.
