Just had to google this as wasn't sure,

Handlebar/stem interface.

I greased (very lightly) as I was getting creaking.

Going by @mdcc_tester advice, copperslip would have been the ideal treatment?

I had a creak in the same spot and got rid of it by cleaning the clamping area thoroughly! (just in case you havent tried it already)

cleaning the clamping area

Good start, because the creak is a fit issue, and contamination can affect the fit. Next step is to check for, and remove, any burrs which are acting high spots and preventing full contact. The end of that process is lapping the mating surfaces together.
