If you truly believe the bolts are "drasticly" overtight I would get a manual that shows the tightening pattern and reverse it to loosen the bolts. Don't pull the bolts out one by one - if you've gotten by without hurting anything taking them out one with only one or two extremely overtightened bolts holding it might be enough to cause a crack. Replace the head gasket and of it makes your conscious feel better have the head mag fluxed before bolting it back on - borrow a GOOD torque wrench to reapply.

Hope it works out OK.
