A pinky mouse just cannot hurt a baby corn snake in any way. I've literally fed thousands of baby corns live pinky mice over a few decades, and never once had an issue.

You have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Now when the snake gets bigger and requires larger, older meals, yeah, you might have a valid concern. I always prekilled adult mice or else used frozen/thawed adult mice. A live adult mouse will be fighting for it's life and sometimes snakes do get injured in that kind of battle.

And btw, the constriction thing will kick in when the snake feels it needs it.
