I wouldn't torque all the other bolts down until that bolt is replaced. I feel its a bad idea considering they make that sequence so the head goes down on the head gasket properly, kind of like when you torque wheels down you need to go in a criss-cross pattern.

I don't have any spare head bolts. Has the bolt head just rounded off or has the bolt itself broken in two?Ian

just got back from pick n pull. got a set of head bolts... among other things. got em free too! ya the heads just rounded, i know i torqued it right up to torque, was just making it perfect when it slipped. got the 12mm 12 point socket(works really good!) i would like to just leave it, but... it's already apart so might as well make sure. that "bolt out" looks pretty handy. gonna hafta grab me one of those. cheerslight a man a fire and he'll stay warm for the night.

whew! that bolt came out like a bad case of jalepeno nachos no prob. ...funny though, when i got the head bolts from the jy 4 of em were clean as new 5 were heavily oiled and one looked like it had been sitting in a puddle of water. well, gotta see if i can get her running for work tomorrow. cheerslight a man a fire and he'll stay warm for the night.
