IF, the headgasket have been seeping for a long time, the gasket is saturated and soften by the oil. Some part of the gasket is softer than others (especially around timing chain area and front oil return galley).
If you retorque the head bolts, it's a chance that the headgasket gives way in those soft areas and tweak the head in an unusual manner creating a bigger problem.
And yes, you do loosen and retorque one bolt at the time.
