If you want the head to come off much more easily next time, then grease the body of the studs with anti-seize compound before putting the head back on. Apply some to the base or coarse threads as well but keep it off the fine end threads or nut end of the studs as it will cause you to over-torque.

How would that happen? The nut is supposed to turn on the stud, that is, on the fine thread. Torque settings are for the fine thread, not the course one. That would not hold the head down tight enough. IMO
