Rust on fazer 98, is it a problem?

Walk away.

I had a similar issue when I bought mine and the exhaust studs made it a right pain in the arse job.

My Fazer currently has very good condition exhaust studs. Is there anything I can do to prevent future problems? I'm going to take all the nuts off one by one and slap some copperslip on but is it worthwhile replacing all the studs with stainless steel ones?

It's probably not worth trying to get the studs out as you risk a chance of them snapping.  As long as the nuts come off easily enough then removing them and applying a bit of copper grease to the studs once a year will be enough to keep things in good knick
