stripped head bolts

Here´s what happened, had an oil leak, tracked it down to a head gasket...so I went to replace it.
First thing I found was that the head bolts were not tight at all I´d guess at 10 foot pounds acording to the manuel they should be 22 foot pounds.
So, I replaced the head gasket when I tried to torq the head down the bolts stripped.
anyone have any suggestions on why, and what I can do...mabye heli coil them????
