I don't know about the #+header, but the following works for me perfectly:'

* Columns to evaluate
#+NAME: COLS_TO_EVAL
|   | name          | usable |
|---+---------------+--------|
| 1 | NPPyC         | FALSE  |
| 2 | DBBVy         | TRUE   |
| 3 | DBRFy         | FALSE  |
| 4 | DBSSy         | FALSE  |
| 5 | levelstress_2 | TRUE   |
#+PROPERTY: var+ COLS_TO_EVAL=COLS_TO_EVAL
