I don't think it'll 'eat it off' but, it'll certainly prevent further corrosion pending that you do it regularly.
The oils in the WD40 will act to displace water and thus, prevent further corrosion...

thanks for the reply, the wd-40 wont ruin the chrome finish if a little splashes on the outside of the pipe, will it? because the rust is on the inside, towards the very end, i dont want it to spread though.

I wouldn't think it'd be a problem but, I'm far from certain.

I have the same thing happening to mine. I was thinking about sanding the rust off, and painting the inside of the tips with some flat black high temp paint. I just haven't got around to doing it yet.
