You shuold really read and follow the Honda manual next time. If you don't have it I can give it to you. 1 - You should always replace the seals when refurbishing your calipers. 2 - You should always replace the pins when refurbishing your calipers. If you did you wouldn't have to worry about corrosion. 3 - The only thing that should touch those seals and brake pistons is brake fluid. You have just contaminated your brake system with grease. Brake fluid will help you slide everything in place. 4 - You must torque the fasteners. This is your brake system. You won't strip any threads if you torque this to spec. And you won't crash and die because a fastener came loose. 5 - Clean your entire caliper with a tootbrush, warm water and fairy liquid after dissassembly, if you are going to take the time to "refurbish" your caliper, at least take 2 minutes to clean everything. 6 - Stop applying copper grease to your pins. The factory doesn't do this and the honda manual does not tell you to do this. You don't want any kind of grease ANYWHER NEAR your friction surface.
