Most anti-seize has a 1500F+ heat tolerance.
I always use a torque wrench and never air-tools, crack them with a pivot bar and then remove with a cordless drill (re; wheel nuts).
Any of the new brake bolts going back on have been getting anti-seize already, but will do so for the wheel studs as well.

Just very strange with the breakage of the factory bolts upon first removal.
