Even the most inadequate lubricant (WD40), when it comes to the subject
of SS galling, is by my calculations and experience, exactly 99.4%
better than none at all.
I've never had SS hardware gall during the loosening process if it was
*truly* successfully tightened without any galling. And even WD40
accomplishes that.

Oil, WD-40 etc may let you assemble SS nuts and bolts without galling
(maybe) but much later when these options are long gone from the threads
you may very much regret not using a good anti-seize which will outlast
silicon spray, WD-40, etc. by a great margin.
