No! Dry it out a bit, the soil Shrinks, helps get it out. I mean really dry. Cornus are fairly draught tolerant so no harm. Also it might come out easy if it's only been anted a year or too.
Also cornus are rock hard, you could year it to bits and plant it, it would survive.
It is in burst-of-spring growing mode. Let it dry out now and it will likely curl up and die. Also, dry soil and a pot bound plant will not come out of that shape of pot without one or both becoming a casualty.
Cornus are tough, but not that tough.
