I'm sure he'll be fine. My newest is in his first shed since I got him. He had some horrible retained head shed when I bought him so I've been checking on him a couple times a day. Very briefly, I'll pick him up for a minute. One time I put him down and he whistled and I freaked but I think it's some retained shed in one of his nostrils that I'm hoping will come off this shed. Already dabbed his eyes with a drop of mineral oil.

But I do understand your temptation. I have 5 snakes and 3 of them are currently in shed, means I can only handle 2 of them.
