I do not believe it would be an issue if you reuse them.
Buying gaskets and plug tubes as prep for vanos caps the other day I skipped valve cover bolts as that shop didn't have them. Can't understand why a 10nm (or even 6nm acc to BMW) bolt should be one time?
Im thinking on with the old and should that be a problem easy enough to replace after.
