do the pivot and scale screws come with loc-tite?

just wondering since I have a paramilitary on the way if I need to unscrew it to put in my own loctite. Don't want to accidently strip the head trying to undo it if it's already locked.

I have found quite a few that had loctite on the screws. If you have a soldering iron, you can heat up the screw a bit to soften the screw adhesive.

Not all of them have it--from my experience with them. I wonder if some are not meant to be adjusted?
 
Got the knife, very nice, but it's action is a bit tighter and "grittier" than my ATR or Dallara. I like it tight though for waistband carry. I'm going to leave the screws alone and assume that spyderco has thought of how annoying it would be if a screw came out on the first day of a 4 day backpacking trip.
 
I have 2 Paras, both used quite a bit. None of the screws came out or even loosened up until I took them out.
