What (if any) lubricant can I use on a screw/nut to keep it from

?The nut is part of the burner assembly on our range so it is
exposed to some heat (but not direct flame). It also gets some
moisture exposure due to the inherent moisture content in Natural
gas.

add routine maintence item, move nut loosen and tighten a little
yearly.......

although your range may fail from other problems before this nut
becomes a showstopper

I'd get stainless hardware, use anti-seize and not worry about it.

Stainless has a habit of gaulding and making it even worse than rust.

Whatever "gaulding" is ... Interesting nontheless.

it's "galling".
