In the latest version (v12.1.2 at this moment), you can get rid of 

Server: BigIP
by either editing the default 
http
profile (not recommended), or creating a new one by inheriting the 
http
profile (preferred), and then replacing/deleting 
Server Agent Name
in the profile.

from config:

ltm profile http my_http_profile {
   app-service none
   defaults-from http
   proxy-type reverse
   server-agent-name none
}

Server Agent Name: Specifies the string used as the server name in traffic generated by LTM. The default value is BigIP.
