I'd grease the hell out of it (not even to prevent seizing, but less torque to remove)
If my new axle weren't a warranty replacement, I'd also look for a better 3rd party one and stick to it

I don’t remember the mechanics of it, but it’s easier to damage a greased bolt by over tightening it than it is a non-greased bolt. I don’t doubt these thru axles are made of goats cheese, but worth using a torque wrench next time?
