This is the same logic given for school aged children to not fight back against bullies for decades, and bullying is now a huge problem.

So you literally want to teach your kid to be violent? You're staying very far from "teaching empathy" with this one...

I'm talking about a situation where your own child is exhibiting bullying characteristics at a very young age.

Yeah, those kids usually have violent parents. Of course you think this is a problem to be solved with violence. Too bad you haven't figured out yet that you're the reason your kid is violent.

You can't sit them down and explain why pulling their sibling's hair shouldn't give them gratification...

You literally can. You just have no patience to talk to your kids, and use violence instead.

But how do you correct a very young child who is exhibiting signs that they are growing into a bully?

By not being the parent that normalizes violence as a solution to problems.
