I made a reply earlier but it doesn't seem to have posted. I will repeat that thought:

I don't think you will ever get a better seal between the head/gaskets/manifold than you have now with new gaskets and proper torqueing. I would not loosen the manifold at this point. I don't think there is anything to gain if you have free movement of the downpipe.

While I have read that manifold bolts can be retorqued after several heat cycles that would be done one fastener at a time to prevent movement of the initial assembly position of the gaskets in relation to the other components.
