stupied question on head removal

Pull the head with the intake on. As long as you remove down to the y pipe you should be good.

The you can figure out how to the get them off a bit easier.

so it is possible to remove it all together

Yeah you can pull the head with the intake plenum attached. Make sure everything else is out of the way though.

At your local auto parts store you can get a set of sockets made for stripped heads. Usualy called "easy outs" ,they have a design that bites into the metal (for removal only). I lost a couple bolts myself ,but home depot is great for replacing all your low grade bolts. Good luck!

do places like home depot or lowes carry any grade 8 or 5 bolts

I'm afraid not. You need to order head bolts and the like from an auto parts supplier. I only use home depot bolts for "low stress" applications.

Home Depot does (or at least used to) carry grade 8 bolts, but not in metric sizes. I have found that most of the smaller chains around here carry or can order them though.
