It's unlikely they are worn. Usually coated in oil and they only move small amounts slowly. Mine have always been in perfect condition - in direct contrast to chassis bearings!
Mine seem to contain black oil but no sludge when I strip the motor. So I guess there's plenty of carbon in there but doesn't seem to go sludgy. Guess the oil is being replaced fast enough not to sludge up. It doesn't seem to harm them or make them stick. I guess modern 2 stroke oils are pretty good.
