It could be possible to add fins to improve heatsinking, but I'm not sure what it would do to aerodynamics. Probably not much if the fins are thin and not too dense. Maybe something like 1-2cm high by 1mm thick, spaced 0.5-1cm apart, and tapered at the front and back to conform to an aerodynamic profile.
