Arp 12pt nuts? McMaster Carr also has 3/8studs stepped down to 5/16. Or heat the tubes at the nut area and punch in some clearance.

Their, Mr. Gasket, Ultra seal header gaskets work good, not real cheap either How about using the Rem Flex 440-1 copper header gaskets Their oval shape, not round and not rectangular either

Looks late for this, but with them off, put a bolt through, and then progressively beat larger and larger tubes over it till you have room for the nut, The small dimples won't hurt a thing, except the finish lol. That has crossed my mind.....

don't forget to split the flange between the front/rear tubes from the center tubes and drill one hole on each set of flanges a couple of drill sizes over. this allows the individual pipe[s] to move around a little, helping a bunch to keep them sealed to the head. i stole this idea years ago from mr. P-body, and it has done wonders for sealing, using gaskets or just plain hi-temp RTV. works really well on thin flanges to keep them sealed up.
