so the gasket actually keeps coming out of the groove in the valve cover and allowing oil to leak out?

I doubt it's the torque, you only need to tighten those to 7 ft/lbs.

I've never used fel-pro gaskets, I've always used oem Honda gaskets.

You shouldn't have positive pressure in your valve cover. If you do, it would either be a clogged / inoperative PCV Valve or you've several piston compression rings allowing blowby.
Even though it's considered a dry-apply gasket, I typically use something like Permatex Hi-Tack spray adhesive to position the gasket; after thoroughly drying what I want it to stick to.

Fel-pro has been around for years and has never given me any issues. Just make sure that everything's absolutely clean when you assemble everything.
