If I was you then I would bite the bullet and just go ahead and handle them. However if you are nervous then they will sense that and be on edge because of it. If one is cage territorial then I would use a cup and scoop it out - then just let it crawl out onto your hand.
If you don't start handling them then will never be able to!
As far as I know "getting the taste of blood" would not make a hamster blood thirsty or more likely to bite, it's just all to do with personality and upbringing. Even the most fierc hamster can be brought round with time and patience, although I am no expert with dwarves so it may be better to wait until a dwarf person comes along (and no I don't mean a little person
).
