Years ago I read about this issue while having some resistance there.
I removed it, re-tapped the threads, greased the hell of it.
More importantly, I no longer lock the adjuster nut tight, just enough to avoid rattling.
ALSO the adjuster bolt is not touching the slider after the axle nut is torqued (I screw it a few hairs away on purpose).
The axle nut torque is 108 N.m; I never seen the axle move to compress the adjuster bolt.
This avoids unnecessary pressure on the adjuster bolt threads.
It's been fine ever since, though I can't conclude if it is the grease, the thread re-tap or the slider separation that helped.
