Facing doesn’t have anything to do with how easy it is to screw in, yours sounds like the threads are clean and it doesn’t need chasing.
Is it an external bb? If yes and there’s paint on the ‘face’ / they arent parallel then it may need cleaning up / material removed with a facing tool.
With the headset / headtube I guess it’s the same deal.
