"seasoned" bolts actually torque better. Providing you are not running them near their stress limit. Main caps have to be re-torquebale ( not a word) so you can check with plastigauge etc..
I've re-torqued the bolts on my Chevy at least 4 times over 10 years, though it's hardly a fire breather. Stock to mild motor no problem. Blown 347, call ARP for a new set after any significant use, they still can be torqued and re-torqued while assembling. And with studs you need to measure stretch not just torque.
