The very best solution to oil leaking valve covers is not over-torquing the screws that hold them on. When the screws are over-torqued, they pucker the thin metal and ruin the seal with any gaskets.
Keep the cork gaskets and get new valve covers. Torque the screws (with star washers) exactly as published in the overhaul manual (~ 20 inch pounds, barely more than snug).

Would it hurt to apply a thin layer of grease on the cork before
installation? That way the seal is not 'dry' and should prevent sweating. Or
is it a no-no on aviation engines?
