The bolt is a torque-to-yield bolt. The tightening procedure is done in a way to stretch the bolt threads in a certain way to keep a strong grip.
The service manual does not say you have to replace it, so I stand corrected. But for under $10, just save yourself the possible headache of a snapped bolt in the crank. You replace head bolts because they are TTY bolts. Why not replace the crank bolt when you have to remove it?
