I'm using this:

if first_delivery then
    headers remove
X-Spam-Score:X-Spam-Report:X-Spam-Checker-Version:X-Spam-Status:X-Spam-Level
    if $acl_m0 is not ""
    then
        headers add "X-Spam-Status: $acl_m0"
        headers add "X-Spam-Report: $acl_m1"
    endif
...
endif


and set acl_m0/1 in the appropriate ACL stanza:

  # spam scanning
  warn  !hosts = +spam_host_whitelist
        condition = ${if <{$message_size}{200k}}
        spam = nobody:true/defer_ok
        set acl_m0 = ${if >={$spam_score_int}{50} {Yes}{No}},
score=$spam_score
        set acl_m1 = $spam_report

I used something similar for a while, but I don't see what's better
about it.

As Andreas already pointed out, it may go wild on delivery retries.
And it goes wrong if there's a X-Spam-Flag header by somebody else. It's
better to rely on Exim's inband information (like $acl_m? or $spam_*),
not something that could be set arbitrarily.

I'm not sure right now, but I think you can also use the $spam_*
variables in your router. (Too bad they are not set in filters....)
