Speaking of Mim, checking in Children of Hurin I find that Khim took an arrow to the chest, and yet still managed to make it the rest of the way home (a full day's journey for Turin's company), and live through to the following evening. Dwarves, even Petty-Dwarves, are hardy folk, and the arrows of Elves are unlikely to bring them down where they can be examined closely.
Unrelatedly, I note that one reason the elves so strongly rejected Petty-Dwarf personhood is probably those beards: Elves as young as they were didn't grow them, so 'hair on the face' wasn't something they knew a person could have.
