Don't meet trouble halfway, every time I have, it led to regret. Clean it up and leave it alone. When it comes time to to do engine work and the heads are off, replace all 4.

For crying out loud, they're just exhaust studs. It's not something that sticks out like a sore thumb since most of it is covered by the flange and nuts.
Some parts of the bike will normally show wear and tear. I say just leave well enough alone, don't risk breaking anything. Clean them up and deal with it later if at all.
Can't speak for Tarik (poetical!) but after spending nearly $1000 on polished stainless hardware those little spots of rust can be a REAL brain twister for me. If hadn't already planned an engine teardown, I'd be pondering the exact same question as him.
What about a stainless cap nut? They come in all different shapes and sizes, taller crowns too if you have a lot of thread to cover. Heck, Harley sells bigger ones to cover the axle bolt on the front wheel.
Be a $2 fix, no risk, and heck you could justify it mechanically by having it keep the other nut on tighter.
