As long as the studs are ok, you should be able to remove the nuts, clean the threads and nuts, apply some gasket sealer or rtv silicone to the threads and reassemble. Note that you also probably need new sealing washers and valve cover gasket. The nuts aren't supposed to be very tight; I would use a torque wrench to avoid damage.
