Random idea, but what about using P.T.F.E. tape on the threads before tightening up the nut? :think
You know the white stuff that plumbers use to waterproof pipe joints.
Surely that would take away the vibration, and fill any possible imperfections of the thread making the nut more difficult to move?

Sorry, assumed you were joking.
PTFE, being the slipperiest substance on earth, is pretty much the opposite of threadlock.

Unfortunately true and backed up by wiki (granted not the MOST accurate source, but still)
"PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction against any solid."
