As I understand it, 300-series stainless is not heat treatable, so this should not be a problem. (304 stainless is routinely used in exhaust systems where they are heated up to glowing red temperatures every time. If the starship tank gets anywhere near that hot on entry I think there are worse problems given that on the other side of the tank is cryogenic propellants.
