The first steering box reseal was faulty, from what you describe there was a mechanical bind and the second "rebuild" didn't solve the problem.
I'm also suspecting that the idler arm bushing is bound tight at this point.

4. As he loosened the bolts on the strut mountings a bit, I thought the steering heavy symptom may cause by too tight on the nuts of each part. So can I just loosen other nuts on the other parts of the steering system i.e. on the idle arm bushing etc. or even more on the strut mountings.

No no all counts. All of the bolts should be properly tightened. The strut rod ( shock ) rotates in the strut so having a loose nut will only cause the holes to wear out.
You need to find mechanic 3 that understands the engineering behind a car.
