To get an accurate torque reading, the bolt needs to be turning. Lets say you've got a head bolt on an engine you just put back together and have had running that you want to retorque to 95 ft lbs. The bolt will have loosened some due to expansion, but it will still be quite tight. It will require more than 95 ft. lbs. of force to get that bolt moving. This is called "break out" force. Your torque wrench will click before the bolt even starts turning. No problems will be caused by cracking each bolt loose, as long as you do it one at a time. Once I have done this, I run back over all of the bolts without cracking them loose.
