How's this...99.9% of the time (subjectively), a few minutes alone is not going to result in hundreds of dollars in vet bills. If you check your BP after each feeding (or once wrapped), clean out any (likely minor) injuries that might have occurred, and keep a relatively clean enclosure, those odds (subjectively) drop to 99.99%. I just think we get a little paranoid about a process that these creatures were built for.

And I agree with Rich, no reason to feed larger prey just because they can stuff it down, which the OP already said wasn't going to happen.
