Next time lightly grease the O ring itself. Maybe the sealing area of the strainer has a ding that needs to be attended to or maybe need a thicker O ring.

A good bronze strainer should last a LONG time but they were not finely machined so some times a bit if fiddling may be needed like on my old Perko. Once closed though it's closed.
