Maybe first have a conversation with the teacher to hear the story with broader context so that the only view of the issue isn't from a child. Talking to the principal feels, to me, like a form of escalation.

This is the first step I would recommend.

Talk to the teacher and get their side of the story. You are taking this only on the impression of your child, who is just a little fella. I agree that going straight to the principal seems like a huge escalation when you haven't addressed this with the teacher at all.

I agree with this. No one has really any idea what the teacher said here, as you noted, this is witness reporting from a 5 year old. If there is a concern, start with the teacher not the principal.
