Greasing the Suspension Bolts?

It's recommended for spraying on to brake discs when the car is left for some time - when you drive away it just burns off.
That's a leap of faith
It's not oil based. It was designed for the Defence Industries for protection of aircraft and missiles etc.

It is amazing stuff, it will keep your engine and suspension corrosion free.
It ain't WD40!
Did my bolts when the car was 13k/18 months old. Some were already difficult to get moving and corrosion was forming on the bolt shafts. The odd thing is some of the bolts have grooves to prevent seizing and these lend themselves to being greased but still Honda doesn't bother. Pain in the butt job and now I am struggling to find someone with the kit to do the geometry as it is 20mm below standard and on OZ wheels which seems to prevent it fitting on any of the local laser tracking rigs without the body fouling the equipment. Now the car has only done 50-100 miles since, and I still haven't found anyone.
I have just had an idea about this, and I would like some more informed opinions about it.
To save taking the the bolts out and loose the adjustments would it be possible to drill a small hole (the size of the tube which comes with a can of WD40 and the stuff from Carcoon above) into the carrier for the adjustment bolt - at top or side. Then it would be possible to squirt WD40/Carcoon stuff/oil until it drips out below.
The hole could then be filled with a bit of grease until the next time.
In the old days a thing like this would have had a grease nipple on it so you could pump it full of grease.

However I think the insurance implications of drilling holes in suspension components makes this a
