If you are 100% sure the cylinder head gasket is leaking, then really the only smart move is to replace it before proceeding with any modifications. The head bolts are stretch bolts which are tightened to yield point so re-tightening them is not likely to give you a better clamping force. You are probably only delaying the inevitable.
It seems the Multi Layer Steel gasket is the best way to go.
