Head studs aren't required for that either. In fact, some people argue that it's worse to do the one-by-one method on head studs, because that is not the proper method, and it can lead to oil leaks if not done perfectly. The proper way to change the bolts to studs is by removing the head, which is a labor-intensive process.
Also, you'd be hard-pressed to find people who have actually stretched the stock head bolts. I am still on the stock head bolts after 3 years of High Boost Abuse (HBA). I used to recommend this route, and I even have a set in my garage that I was about to do, but I held off and am unsure if I want to bother unless I get the head built.
