There is ZERO evidence that Dow 55 O-ring lubricant "degrades" o-rings in any meaningful way. Change does not equate to "degrade" and in fact, I would argue from experience that "seal swell" is a positive innovation in this application.
In fact, the military calls out Dow 55 for use on an incredible number of weapons systems both vintage and modern day.
I have seen no documented cases of o-ring failure do to Dow 55.
In the interest of improvement, if anyone has documented evidence that Dow 55 has caused an o-ring failure, I would be interested in that evidence.
