I have a set of Oliver connecting rods. Does anyone know if you can reuse these torque to yield Rod bolts that come with them?

What is inscribed on the head? WSB? They are not torque to yield. Their torque procedure is to insure the bolt is stretched the correct amount. If your in doubt i.e. used rods,450 passes, replace them. That's the only way I've seen an Oliver rod fail is at the bolt.
