might be a lot easier to do this with the memoir class which can be seen 
as a dropin replacement for book. It has a much better page style 
support, and the styles are very easy make. In your case something like

\copypagestyle{mystyle}{headings}

\addtopsmarks{mystyle}{
    \clearmark{chapter} % we do not want chapter data
    \createmark{section}{both}{shownumber}{}{. \ } % write to both
    \createmark{subsection}{both}{shownumber}{}{. \ }
    \createmark{subsubsection}{both}{shownumber}{}{. \ }
}

\setsecnumdepth{subsubsection}
\maxsecnumdepth{subsubsection}

then activate mystyle at the point where you need the change.
