No.

Your grepping is broken. You're not limiting the pattern at the
beginning of a line, and more importantly don't account for multi-line
headers. This can result in a lot of strange things.

Formail is your friend. To correctly extract all X-Spam headers, use
formail -X, and to remove them use -I instead of -X.

  formail -X X-Spam < $msg

However, there is no need to remove SA headers before processing it a
second time with SA. SA ignores these.

What if there are more lines??

Yeah, I can see that happening with a script like the above. :)
