Axle bolts frustration

Well, my left side axle came loose again today.

It happened on the freeway maybe six months ago, shortly after rebuilding both axles. I had the torque right on the bolts, had put a generous amount of blue loctite on each of them, but I hadn't realized there was a bit of CV grease in the holes. I sprayed everything out with brake cleaner, cleaned the bolts, and put them back in with more loctite. Three checks over the next month and they seemed like they were fine.

This time I drilled the bolts for safety wire on top of the brake cleaner and loctite. Had thought about it the last time, but the garage had just been cleaned, so I couldn't find half my stuff. I really hope this is the last time I have to deal with the axles- so far this is my only real complaint with the car.
