Thanks for the picture - that clarifies it. Professional standards call for
replacing the nut, but it almost certainly has plenty of holding power left.
I've just been re-using the nut as-is. A better compromise would be to use a
dab of Loc-Tite, but even that seems like overkill. I haven't looked
closely, but it feels like a nylon locking nut - definitely not a deformed
metal type.

When I worked in general aviation we reused nylon locking nuts all the time,
only replacing them if they didn't resist right any more.
