Not sure about the loctite, 1 option would be:
Remove the bolt, install a stud with a nut to lock the stud in place.
Install a washer on the nut then the cables, follow with another washer and nut.
Hold the bottom nut and tighten the top nut, you should be able to get it tighter than with the stock bolt.
Basically bottom nut locks stud to the battery and the top nut tightens against the bottom nut, this has worked for me in the past.
