You can use dielectric grease, but it's an electrical insulator (hence
'dielectric'). The theory is threads push it away allowing contact, but
you're kinda at cross-purposes. I've used it for years, but someone
recommended to me a better solution. Expensive, but this stuff works
great, and is tenacious as hell:

I've been using it on battery terminals, and the old bullet-style
connectors in my old cars to occlude air and prevent corrosion.
