Chainring Bolts Unscrew Themselves Like Clockwork

So I have a rear sprocket attached to an adapter that mounts onto a disc brake mount, and the chainring bolts that attach the sprocket to the adapter keep unscrewing themselves no matter what I do. I used threadlocker on them last week, and they still unscrewed themseves! They do it within a week of me tightening them every time. I am thinking of screwing the chainring bolts back in and then welding the bolts so they can't unscrew anymore, or just welding the sprocket to the adapter and ditching the bolts all together. Any less drastic measures I should try first? Cause I kind of don't want to have to buy a new adapter if I ever want a new gear anymore, and that's what I would have to do if I weld them.
