Yes Sir, it is alright to pull the stock bolts one at a time AND IN ORDER, and then replace them with the new studs as per the recommendations the Members have given here.

They way we do them if it's the stock Head gasket and not o rings and you plan on doing them 1 at a time. Is remove one, put in the new one all the way down till it stops, back off 1/4-1/2 turn. Put lots of ARP lube on the threads and top and bottom of washer. Take it right to 110lbs. And do all of them 1 at a time. Once their all swaped out go around and hit them all to 125lbs starting from the center out. Might have to grind a little of the valve cover in on the front 2 studs if you dont bottom tap the threads.
