Bullying shortstack is a bad idea because when he shoves, you are commited to call him. You can't give him a chance to fight back. I would rather take small pots from him if possible and keep him shortstacked.

But how can you take small pots without bullying him?

Instead of trying to win big pots, try to win a lot of small pots. If you encounter resistance, you can easily go away. Here, I would just minraise preflop or call preflop. Of course, it is not possible against all villains. Some of them are calling stations in small pots when they are shortstacked. It is opponent dependent. Just a general advice.
