I think that it is a common problem. I use anti seize as has been mentioned. The problem is much worse with aluminum distributor housings, such as Mallory and others because of dissimilar metal reaction. When it has happened on our cars with Mallory distributors , I break out the large channel lock pliers, grasp the housing where it enters the head and gently rotate. I haven't ruined one yet.
