I have two rusty nuts as well (no pun intended) caused by a mechanic hurriedly removing them with an air gun.

Luckily, they weren't the locking ones though. And I have two spare. So perhaps your damage was caused the same way (does it look like part of the coating on the nut edge has sheared off, then rusted?).

If so, they probably took them off with a gun, despite the visual warning on the nut itself to loosen with a hand wrench!

If that's the case (and you've only had it serviced by a Honda dealer) then I'd take it up with them by saying that whoever did the job must have damaged them whilst tightening/untightening.
