This is only true if you have complete control over the garage and
never let anyone in it for any reason (like a contractor doing
maintenance or repairs etc) _and_ you never sell your house. As
soon as you sell your house, it's a problem.

Downgrading the breaker is safe. Upgrading to a GFCI is also a
good idea (required by code where I live - all garage and outdoor
recepticles).
