I could swear I've seen individual pistons/sleeves sold somewhere. If I find it I'll post the link.
But either way - I'd definitely swap out one sleeve and not think twice about it.
If your objective is to save money, then stick to it and save money!
The only good justification for changing all of them is that if you're going to be in there anyway, you might as well do it all at once.
That's a very strong argument, but there's no avoiding the cost if you do it.
So if you don't want the cost, don't do it that way. (I'm assuming you're doing this work yourself and labor is free).
But - - - quite honestly, if your objective is to save money... I'm not sure why you're changing even ONE sleeve, just because of a little rust!
The worst thing that can happen is it'll wear out the rings faster than normal, and ... what?
If it does, you'll be right where you are now swapping them out anyway.
Why not just run it till it fails (IF it fails - and you may be very surprised at how long it actually lasts). You might push the cost down the road for several years.
If you do change it, just be sure get the right size. A lot of places push the oversized pistons. You want to match what's there to keep the whole crank in balance.
