you can reuse them, but they do stretch and break. They are recommended to be replaced each time they are removed. I personally have used the same head bolts three times without any problems

uhh, screw them in to the block completely (make sure you lube them with mineral based oil or assembly lube) then torque. If you can not screw them in, dremel a slight notch in the top and screw them in w/ a screwdriver.
