Over the years, the aluminum screw was part of what was peddled out here in the
late 90's until 2004.
In the tropics, it takes very little time for corrosion to set in and degrade
the connection.
The solution was to use noalox on every connection and replace the aluminum
screws with stainless bolts.
Even out here, stain-less is what you get- it just stains...less, or degrades
slower.
Salt is the enemy of clean connections.

Are you sure that's a ILSCO GBL-4DBT lug? I am pretty sure the set screw is
not SS, which it should be to be the genuine part.

A picture is worth a thousand words, (hopefully this will upload)
Here's a traditional Ilsco Lug after less than 5 years near the ocean:
