The earth won't stop spinning if you don't buy new head bolts, but your odds of blowing another head gasket will go up significantly. It's your call. Also, take the heads to a machine shop and have them looked at. Odds are they will need to be surfaced. Plan on being carless for a week. If this is your daily driver, you will need to line up another vehicle for this time, so be prepared. Don't use RTV silicone on the head bolts when you install them into the cleaned out holes in the block. Instead, use a liquid thread sealer (on the lower row of bolts), and engine oil (on the upper row of bolts). ARP's thread sealer is by far the best.
Take care, ~Chris
