All bolts will stretch when tightened, but you usually won't feel it because you are still within the elastic deformation area of their tensile curve. As soon as you can "feel" the stretching, as you described, you are into the plastic deformation area of the curve. Something from my old "Strength of Materials" classes is telling me that I really don't want to re-use bolts that have already experienced plastic deformmation.
For the relatively low cost of new headbolts (less that $4 each) I will start fresh.
