I know you're supposed to chase and face, but it may be too late for that - it feels ovalised, and in any case I CBA to take it to my LBS. I've tried PTFE tape, that helped a bit, but what about loctite?
Anyone tried this and still been able to remove their BB afterwards?

Why the tape? That's to seal a joint, not fix it in place.

The tape works as padding to cushion the movement and stop metal rubbing on metal.. to a point of course. I once had a Pace with a Hope BB. When I came to change the bearings I wondered why it had PTFE tape all over it.. soon found out on the first ride 🙁

Ok, not sure if it's helping or hindering unscrewing.
