Thats ES for you. My solution is only screw the bulbs in far enough
that they start to grip, dont screw them home.

But any vibration might unscrew them if they are at all loose or as
the heat makes the center contact loose it's temper you get an iffy
connection which makes more heat so the softens even more etc...

I do the same thing as valves or taps. Do 'em finger tight then back
off 1/4 turn.
