Looking more closely at the pictures, the "corrosion" is all outside the tank, sitting in the well/trap area. This area captures rain and water and overfilled gas, and prevents it from flowing into the actual tank.
It has a drain hole that connects to a drain pipe underneath to the ground. Absolutely nothing to worry about. If you wanted to clean it out, you can take the cap off, plug the filler with a rag or rubber plug, and use an old toothbrush to to take the dirt loose, and vacuum or wipe it out.
On EX and RS models, only the rear 2 and front allen bolts are real - the other 2 are dummies and won't turn.
