You can prevent intrusion of N into the subscripts by 
giving the appropriate attribute to Subscript:

In[3]:= Attributes[Subscript] = NHoldRest

In[4]:=
Thread[Table[Subscript[x, i], {i, 1, 3}] -> {Pi, 2 Pi, 3 Pi}] // N
Out[4]=
\!\({x\_1 -> 3.141592653589793`, x\_2 -> 6.283185307179586`, 
    x\_3 -> 9.42477796076938`}\)

The subscripted integers are preserved now.
