It is only once I started to spin that I developed IT and then piriformis issues. Sort of a repetitive stress thing, mashing actually reduced the issue.
I've always stretched. Don't know about the OP but not sure my out toeing is something that could ever be fixed. It seems more structural than muscular. Only real problem I have is when riding flats I have to be super conscious of keeping my foot flat on the pedal.
I would still give it one more go with a solvent cleaning than blue locktite. If that fails maybe red loctite is the solution. That and torquing the pedal whenever you check tire pressure.
