Strikeouts are uncommon in medieval manuscripts. I rarely see them even though I look at manuscripts every day.
What you might be perceiving as "strikeouts" is actually highlighting. They ran a colored line across a word to make it stand out. It's hard to read, but it's not a correction.
If something was to be corrected, they put dots underneath the word (occasionally above the word).
