Stiff bristle broom works wonders if you're really bothered by the worm casts. Otherwise leave well alone, earthworms are our friends and allies in the garden.
That's still quite acid, if the meter is accurate. It looks like your worms are doing a great job aerating your lawn, which will help with drainage. I would leave them to it and do nothing while the grass is wet. The worm activity should slow down when the weather turns cold, and the casts will most likely be washed in by winter rain. Just keep off the lawn when it's wet so you don't squash and compact the muddy casts, and sweep/spread out the casts if you get a dry spell and they turn crumbly (free lawn top-dressing!).

So the more acid the less hospitable to grass growth? I have treated for those chafer grubs but still see a few areas of pale grass and patches of mud. I wonder if its too acidic and hindering growth?
I won't be killing any worms just to clarify for the folks here upset by the thought. I'll use a stiff brush and keep the kids off the lawn..
Your grass looks fine in the pictures (much better than mine, which is still recovering from the summer drought). Growth is slowing down naturally now that we're well into autumn. If your grass usually grows well during spring and summer (except in droughts!) then there's nothing to worry about.
