Drop the bar, release, stretch string, drop the bar, release, tune >> repeat till it's stable.

Also 3 in One oil or any lube in the nut slots will help. My Lukes hold tune really well using this method. Good luck!

A vey good lube for the nut of any guitar is to use a pencil in the groove. The graphite keeps the strings from being pinched until you need to re-string

Another good lube is remington Teflon spray. Still my nut on my GrapHearl SiLO was grabbing strings whenever I used the bar. Every time I pressed the bar the strings would raise in pitch.
NorMally when I tune I always tune UP. (From a lower pitch to tune) So I tried just correcting the pitch by tuning to pitch. It stays in tune a lot better now.
Also recommended by an EBMM dealear was just have yourself a merry little whammy fest. That's just good fun.
