Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to override the
default numbering format for string numbers
(default is circled arabic numbers) and use roman
numerals instead.

Try this:

 \version "2.19.8"

#(define (string-number::calc-roman-text grob)

  (let ((event (event-cause grob)))

    (or (ly:event-property event 'text #f)

         (format #f "address@hidden" (ly:event-property event 'string-number)))))

{

  \override StringNumber.text = #string-number::calc-roman-text

  \clef "treble_8"

  c4\5 e\4 g2\3

  <c,\5 e\4 g\3>1

}

If you don't need any circle you can write (including David's code) :
{
  \override StringNumber.text = #string-number::calc-roman-text
  \override StringNumber.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
  \clef "treble_8"
  c4\5 e\4 g2\3
  <c,\5 e\4 g\3>1
}
