I was wondering if it is OK to apply another 10 degrees of turn on the bolts near the seepage location?

I find it unusual that you would have water seepage even if you failed to torque the head precisely. If you didn't do the torqueing yes, but even 60degrees , twice should be enough to stop the leak you describe.
Are you sure that the head, block and gasket were clean? It wouldn't take much to leave some grit there and suffer a leak.
I recommend pulling the head again and checking why you have the leak.
