I would say let it grow. Trimming it at this point will do nothing but slow its growth. You cna work on ramification after you get some heft here. Shaping should also wiat until it's a bit thicker and can take the bending a bit more.

However, you can remove growing tips in other places to encourage the tree to push more energy here.

And try not to bump into it
