Is it possible to revoke EXP_FULL_DATABASE from a user? User has a dba role.

and Connor said...

The "DBA" roles is "ours", ie, we (Oracle) can change it however we like from release to release. So I would always be hesitant to give someone that role, because their privileges could grow or shrink without your knowledge.

An easy solution - create your own DBA role (as a clone of the existing DBA role if you need to), and then you can tailor the privs however you like.
