Modification of existing headers isn't something I would recommend.
Except for headers that aren't protected by DKIM.

Exim *can* process these overlong headers. But its default config
rejects the transport of messages containing them. (Probably the default
config even rejects such messages, I'd need to check.)

The *intention* of my question was more like "what do you do with such
messages", as I believe that I'm not the only one seeing them.

OTOH *iff* I'm the only one, than the issue might be scoped to a
specific sending system. Although the reporter told me, that they're
lots of such messages.

The message itself wasn't suspicious and had a trustworthy sender. (But
I'm not sure if it was really an Outlook generated message, or some sort
of script impersonating as Outlook.)
