Default Stainless steel fasteners in the valve covers?

After hours of wasted time removing the 10 year old bolts that had rusted beyond use I bought stainless Allen head bolts just like the ones that came out. If I use never seize on the threads will that cause trouble at the low torq pressures? I know stainless will gall the threads on similar types of steel when hi heat or pressure is applied.
