Default Stubborn head bolt?

Ordered a head gasket & gonna change it. On my #122-12hp.

Does it need a new head gasket= NO! But since i'm re-building the carb I figured I might as well clean-up the head.

In anticipation of this task I feel I am going to run into a stubborn bolt? Don't know?

My question?
If one run's into a stubborn bolt is it advisable to give it a shot with a mapp gas torch to heat it up a bit? Has anyone done something like this to a head bolt?
Don't want to cause myself any grief.

I've been soaking my head bolts with pb blaster daily.

Nik,
