Grease.....

I assume you mean to coat the ground point and wire terminals with grease AFTER they have been cleaned, reassembled, and tightened. This would act as a corrosion/oxidation preventative.
Another idea would be to lightly coat the wire terminals with a cooper anti-seize. The cooper based anti-seize is electrically conductive and would also prevent corrosion/oxidation. This is actually done on high power radio transmission couplings. I already use this technique on the ground points exposed to weather, like in the engine compartment. But then I am obviously a bit anal/compulsive about these things to start with.
Both methods will certainly work, although it is agreed that both are overkill. Of course, we could just silver solder the wire terminals to the ground points for a really secure connection. ;^)
