I don't think they spend the extra money for LocTite. A drop of QD solvent tends to loosen it okay.

Pretty sure the schmoo they use to lock that round nut is plain old clear enamel.

Like the clear nail polish we use to lock it back down. A drop on the flat of the socket's bushing against the round nut is all it takes. Capillary forces will pull the liquid down into the threads under the nut without fouling the exposed threads you want to keep clear for your mike plug.

Acetone will probably loosen the factory schmoo okay, but I don't keep that solvent on the bench.
