Use them as guides pins -- once you have everything aligned and the clutch happy -- you put the rest of the bolts in -- and then back these out with a screw driver and replace them with the actual bolts.

That. I used that method when pulling my oil pan (so many bolts). RTV is the sealant. Not wanting to have to remove any smeared sealant then squeezing out more sealant I purchased four bolts... cut off the heads as you described... notched them with a Dremel tool... one bolt in each "corner" of the pan... then aligning the oil pan with the bolts so it went straight up. I purchased two?three? inch bolts so there was some wiggle room.
