Well it depends on the head Gaskets you used if it is the graphite ones yes if the MLS then maybe not if you didn't run it long. I am with Brian chase them and blow them out a couple of times.

If they are torqued and tight, whats the problem ? I would assume you still have plenty of thread left to clamp down despite what you see.
If you were to remove and replace the studs one at a time, if you did want to clean the threads and re-check, I see no reason why gaskets would need replaced.
If they are MLS type, Ive re-used Subaru MLS gaskets on occasion with no issues. MLS are supposed to be re-useable, although I cant see many doing it too often.

I don't think new headgaskets would be needed b/c the engine has never been run. Also, since they've held the torque they were set to that means they're holding clamping forces down like they should.
