That's not correct unless you flood the screws with the stuff. It's used routinely on scope mounting bolts and, unless used to great excess, doesn't get into the action.
A small drop holds the screw well but doesn't get into any place it shouldn't. Blue (Grade 242) or Purple (Grade 222) are low to medium strength Loctite and will hold small bolts firmly but allow disassembly with ordinary tools and no heat.
My Rifle Basix SAV-RAT rimfire replacement trigger came with a recommendation to use Blue Loctite on the adjustment bolts after you get the settings you want.
