Would Anti-seize not help if the bolts were to be removed again or does it just burn off?

Stainless steel studs with flanged lock nuts is what I use. Then going forward, if you ever go back into it, you don't have to risk unscrewing anything from the head and possibly pulling the threads out with it due to corrosion.

I've been using the copper anti-seize on exhaust flanges (and exhaust manifolds to heads) for the last few years on my 06 Suburban.
I've had to remove the flanges at least twice within that timeframe. I couldn't really tell if the anti-seize did anything because they were pretty tight on there. I haven't broken one of those bolts, so I guess that's good? I figured, it certainly wouldn't hurt... IDK honestly...and I bought the largest of those containers, so I gotta use it when the time comes, lol.
