As I understand it, the reason not to reuse "single use bolts" is that you can only reach the correct fastening torque once. This stretches the bolt slightly and once stretched there's no going back.
Reusing these bolts, even with threadlock, is not the best practice, but unfortunately quite common and I may have done it myself on occasion.
