I haven't had this problem...yet.
However if I did, I would:
1) Grind off the lip of the nut so that when it tightened up it locked on the shaft before exerting any pressure on the sprocket and washer.
2) Use 'bearing fit' or similar on the threads when I tightened it up.
The nut is there to hold the sprocket in position, it doesn't really need to be tight against.
The old Hondas used to have a similar arrangement if memory serves.
