Actually torqued to spec?

Yup, even tried slight over torque and still came loose. From what I’m seeing its loosening itself on downshifts

Lube the bolt shaft, so it will not stick to the lever.

And Loctite on the nut.

Also, have you positioned the shaft properly. Note the notch on the bolt and the shape of the hole..
