Not sure that cooking the oil line would be a good thing. How does it look? If I recall correctly, I sprayed some brake cleaner through mine a few months ago when I did my head gasket job. Actually, it was an exhaust manifold stud job.
Are you replacing the exhaust manifold studs? I'd recommend it. I'd also recommend having the shop that is doing the head pull the exhaust manifold studs so that if anything strips they can take care of it right there with a thread insert.
My head took a very light skim. It didn't have any significant pitting. I also had the machine shop do the full job on the head, including valve stem seals, even though it only had 90k on it. Now it's like new.
