You can either double nut them or try some nylockers (nylon lockers)

It's the bolt that hold the free flaoting axle to the hub that has the wheels studs not the studs that hold the wheel on sorry for the confusion.

use good lock tite that needs to be heated to be removed, oh and make sure the surface is good and clean before you put the loctite on.....

Yeah, which Loctite have you used?

Id say try the green stuff or maybe the Red (262 high strength)

all else fails do what I have done on my old ford, take your wire welder and just put 1 little tack on each bolt, use it as a last resort and make sure all your seals are good first cause it takes a minute with the angle grinder to get them off next time
