Super Glue + Baking soda does work but it's not a permanent fix, it will eventually wear down, and have also found that you will need to liberally lube that slot or you're going to have tuning issues on that string.
That hasn't been my experience. I've found CA glue and baking soda to be a "permanent" fix and it has never needed lubrication. Having a suitable size slot for the string diameter, and shaping it correctly, in my experience, eliminates the need for lubrication.
