Reuse head gasket with copper spray?

Would you reuse a cometic head gasket on a motor that was driven for 5 miles? I used copper spray the first time I put the head on. It's going on a 500whp B18. I just don't want to blow an extra $100

it can be done and has been done.. but is it worth tearing the motor back apart if it doesn't seal??

Good point. What a pain in the ***... Does it matter it's the multi layer gasket?
