Keeping a bolt tight in a hot frying pan

That's the problem. Lovely non-stick frying pan, but the handle
loosens frequently. Wife got a replacement for the stove, but wants to
keep this one for baking. So, removed the handle.
It was not as I thought, a problem from a steel machine screw
going into an aluminum pan. There is a steel bracket that the screw
threads into.
And there is a split washer on the screw, but it seems to be to
have gotten flattened. While the pan doesn't get really hot, it does,
apparently, get hot enough to remove any temper in that split washer.
So, my question, does anyone know if there are split washers or
the like, made for a "high" temperature environment? This is right now
purely for information. Unless she buys another pan, it is of purely
intellectual interest.
