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.

Let's get back on topic here.

If you are still on stock head bolts. The least you can do is order toyota oem's.
But you should go ARP and sleep alot easier. You are going to need a torqu wrench. pay attention to your head. Place the washers on the grooves before your studs or bolts. I went with studs. Hard to beat a studded engine if your'e going for a DD big boy toy.

HKS Stopper MHG. You want one.
How is your block? Did you have it machined?
Give us details man. Help us help you.
