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).
Maybe uncommon but not unused and the VM is not your average manuscript. Scraping, overpainting+writing, expunctuation, signes de renvoi and strikeouts (not highlight type) in various manuscripts. The missal of Bishop Antonio Scorampi f58 shows plain old scribble. The problem with the VM having errors is that they would be so few and so unclearly corrected as to not be errors. If you correct something a clue ought to be left as to how to read the new word or where an insertion goes. Excluding plain messy writing blobs and corrected letters.
