Default Rotor comes loose

Well yesterday while taking the kids to the movies my rotor came loose again. I had used blue locktite when I put it on originally but it still came loose. What do you do to keep this thing on

I had that happen before.
I took the set screw out of the rotor and gripped it in a set of pliers.
With a really good squeeze, I intentionally damaged the threads a little.
After screwing it back into the rotor, the little bit of damage creates a better bind and holds in place.

Alright, after trying to figure out if you guys are being serious somebody needs to explain this to me.

How can the rotor "loosen up" if it's sandwiched between the wheel and hub using tightened lugnuts?

Thats really odd that it's happening, I'd try locktite again but a stronger strength and screw it in as hard as physically possible without rounding it.

I had this issue before and blue (medium strength) Loctite worked for me. You could try the red (high strength) but you will have a good time trying to take it off when it does come time to change it.

Blue loctite with the appropriate time allowed to cure will never come loose under normal use, red will also solve it but be ridiculous to get off in the future
