I had a similar issue with a 26.0 stem + shim. I followed what others have suggested (greased the stem bolt thread and applied a hefty amount of torque to tighten). I do suggest getting the adjustment correct before doing that as super torquing bolts tends to stress them, and consider investing in a spare replacement bolt or two in case your torquing gets too enthusiastic. I also cleaned off the bar/stem contact surface and mated it up *without* any grease or lube or friction paste, per suggestions from another thread. It's been a couple of months and I haven't experienced slippage even when standing to pedal and after adjusting bar angle a couple of times. *crosses fingers*
