No problem in swapping one at a time and torquing them down as you go, no its not "ideal" but its 99% likely to be fine, and saves stripping the entire engine down...worst case if it did fail for any reason (which is unlikely to be because of swapping the studs) then you just have the gasket / strip down to do that you would have had to do anyway....

Time to remove, MEASURE and do the job properly. Heads don't just automatically need skimming!!!
I have personally NEVER pulled a head off a diesel peugeot engine that is straight, gasket failure or not... Polish it / skim it...same thing...you are removing material to get it level / flat again...having it skimmed dosnt mean taking large amounts off, simply enough to make it uniform again, if its not uniform, its not going to last...it is essential quite honestly.
