If I assume (never assume right) that they were used 'normally, not over tightened in use, would it not be the same as re building my engine if it had perfectly good head studs and using them again, I mean newer design studs are fit and forget to some extent, tear it down and re use if you get what I mean
Or is it just a risky idea, thanks

Depends on the price and your Budget. I sold a used set of 24 Dilivar head struds for $50 shipped a year ago. They were in my 930 motor when I got the car. I used a Stahlwille .5" drive stud tool to remove them and it did a clean job of it.
12 were the smooth finish ones and they were the top row and the other 12 were 993TT fully threaded ones and they were in the bottom row.
All 24 of them wrapped in paper fit good in a small USPS flat rate priority mail box. The buyer was happy.
