Head Gasket replacement help, please...

Finally starting to replace parts after head gasket failed, and have 2 questions to start:
1) On the tensioner pulley assembly there is one Torx bolt and two hex bolts securing it to the timing cover. I mangled the Torx bolt getting the assembly loose, however this bolt looks very much like the one used to hold the brake rotor to the hub. Can this bolt be substituted while I order the right one, or are they the same bolt?
2) The gasket set I purchased for this job came with 2 Intake Manifold gaskets. I think I should use only one, but is there a reason I'm not aware of to use two on an Aero?
3) I'm planning to use Permatex Azul RTV 6B around the timing chain cover after inspecting the guides and sprockets. First, is this an acceptable gasket material (since no official gasket is available), and what tricks has anyone used to get the old goo off the block where access to scraping prevents removing old sealant? (I also want to minimize debris dropping into any internal areas like the oil pan!) And, can these techinques and materials also be used if the oil pan needs to be removed to clean the oil screen?
Thanks for your help.
