How to stop threads seizing up

Hi all. I sometimes have the situation where I have screwed on a bit of kit and later find it very difficult to unscrew it even though I didn't excessively tighten it. Spacers seem the worse as there is not much to grip. On a couple of occasions I have had to use a multigrip wrench and put on a lot of force. This is a bit dangerous when you are trying to remove a 10mm spacer from your camera and I am concerned I might distort the metal.

Any tips to stop this from happening?
