frozen wheel bolts (chronic) 89 900S

Since forever I have had problems with random frozen wheel bolts when changing wheels for this car. Some of the bolts are so frozen that only heat and very drastic mechanical methods by the tire company people are needed to remove them.They say that mine is the only one they have problems with (and they do many C900 models).
I have tried antiseize compound and "torque sticks" (80 foot-pounds) with quite variable (good to no effect) results.
Does anybody have any pearls of wisdom? Is this widespread with the newer C900 wheel bolts on this 1989 model?
Regards, Bruce
