other faster simpler cheaper approaches welcome
Keep a bottle of red locktite on your shelf. Clean
bolt and nut, apply red locktite. Amortized over
the thousands of fasteners it can do, the cost is
a couple of cents per application.
Heat with torch to disassemble.

To secure a brand new 5" Wilton machinist's vise at work, I had 1"
plate cut to vise base profile, holes drilled and tapped
appropriately, plate welded to work bench (1/2" plate top), and cap
screws cut to length then red loctited in place.
