But he was a petty dwarf. Didn't the elves used to hunt them for fun before they realised that they were sentient?

Yes, they did. The Petty-Dwarves, however, were said to have been "banished in ancient days from the great Dwarf-cities of the east." They were exiles, but there is no indication they were less capable in combat than the "civilised" Dwarves.
Beleg also was not Noldorin. That being the case, one might think a Dwarf would have an even more difficult time with the likes of Maedhros or Fingon.
