While this is one way of doing it, the breaker should be fine since it should of been sized approriately for the wire during install, I think he only changed the outlet.

Properly sizing the outlet makes more sense since its cheaper and easier than a new breaker.

If its only the outlet, absolutely, just change that. But as its installed now its unsafe and would require a 10 amp breaker.
