When I refinished mine I put blue thread locker on then bolted them to 15 pounds in a star pattern then to 25 pounds at the end.

Yep, star pattern. I just wrenched them down until the bolts were on the lip, then torqued them to 25.

Q, do the bolts need replacing? I've heard they're one time use, that seems silly tho.

Re torque, Star pattern in 3 stages, first stage being hand tight (5-8ftlb) and then 15 and then 25.

no, you can reuse. otherwise everyone would be spending 250$ everytime they take the wheels apart.
