Hard core!
The question about the bolt reuse has nothing to do with age. If they are torque to yield (TTY) bolts then they are supposed to be torqued in once and only once. If you remove them, toss them. The install process torques them to a stretching point where they are then “streched“ in that position. These types of bolts are used on engines/brake calipers all the time.
