945 front hub retaining nut question

I am considering regreasing the front hub bearings of my 1991 945 (2 litre manual UK spec.). These are the original bearings but seem a little sticky.
My question is about the nut holding the bearing on the stub axle. This is a special Volvo nut, slightly tight fitting to prevent it coming loose. Volvo recommend single use only - replace every time.
Does everyone always do this? Or is reassembly with some thread lock an acceptable practice? It seems wasteful to discard these nuts which are not easily bought and expensive.
What do you all do?
