If i were you i would remove th head, put a new gasket in and put the washers on. Even if the bolts dont bottom out in the block they are there to protect the soft aluminum head.

This should help; I made up a few drawings the last time I did a head gasket replacement. It looks like the bolts won’t bottom out, but I don’t think is good idea to leave it with no washers as CyFi6 correctly said, plus the torque settings would be effected by the extra friction between the bolt head and ally casting without the washers.
