It's okay to be wary of oversteer. I personally prefer a car that has slight understeer. At least with understeer, you can see what you are going to crash into! It's said that a loose car is faster, but it is more difficult to manage an oversteering car over time. What it comes down to is what you are comfortable with. The more you try to reduce understeer with the car's set-up, the more likely you will end up with a car that is uncomfortable for you if you are afraid of oversteer.
Radium King is right, you can try different driving techniques to get around the understeer coming out of hairpins. Do you feel that the full throttle push is costing you time? If not, don't worry about it so much. I'm guessing that you spend very little time in those kind of turns compared to mid- and high- speed corners. BTW, every car I've raced has had understeer in slow hairpins, but so little time was spent coming out of that hairpin that I never worried about it.
One thing to keep in mind with a slow speed turn is that it's really easy to over-drive the car, because a slow corner just isn't very scary. I've been very guilty of that many times in my own driving history!
