Aero Head Gasket Leak! (see previous posts) Double Yike

Ok I Posted a little while back with a head leaking coolant and oil to the outside, the retorqueing of the head bolts sounded good so i did so today, bolt ten turned more than the rest and then SNAP. Don't know if i'm the luckyest man on earth but the bolt actually backed all the way out! (i was then able to break it in half with my fingers!) so leak was probably a result of the weak bolt, now am i to replace the bolt and tourque again? or am i likely to have damaged the head with the sudden release of bolt 10? Any chance the gasket might survive? the car ran well despite the leak and there are no signs of internal failure, any thoughts?
