Lug Bolt Lube?

Hi Y'all,
Just this past Saturday I swapped my summer wheels/tires for the
winters. I had almost forgotten how much better the summer rubber
feels. While doing the job I managed to break a socket while loosening a
lug bolt. The bolt was THAT tight! The bolts were properly torqued when
installed last fall - I did them myself. I realize that it would be
embarrassing (to say the least) to have a wheel fall off because a lug bolt
worked itself loose. That's why I'm a bit hesitant to use any form of
lubrication on the lug bolts. That said, is there a "proper" lubricant for
such use? Or should I just leave 'em dry and possibly break another socket
next time?
Recommendations?
Bob
