Regardless of what others may say, it is actually better to dry your buds with the leaves left on, this actually improves the drying as most of the water will evaporate out through the leaves rather than through the buds only, which can reduce terpene quantity and/or quality.
Dry trimming is not difficult.
After trying both methods (wet trimming vs dry trimming) numerous times over the last 40 odd years, there is no way I would wet trim my buds ever again.
