Minato sliced through a Tailed Beast Tail like absolutely nothing, so I don't doubt he could damage Ay.

We also know that even with less durability, things can pierce other things if they go fast enough. A ping pong ball is much less durable than a paddle, for example, but a ping pong ball can still go through the paddle if it's fast enough (even though it disintegrates as it does).

Ay admitted his inferiority to Minato, and also Minato had no real actual reason to kill Ay after that encounter. Sure, he could kill the Kage of another village, but that just kind of ends in war. Which he wouldn't needlessly do. Kinda like how Hashirama never killed Madara even though he could.

Also, Minato wasn't really shocked at Bee's sword. He just kinda looked at it lol. But it didn't really matter to him, because he wasn't trying to kill Bee anyways, he was trying to drive home a lesson to Ay, and in doing so learned something about Bee. He never actually tried to kill Bee, if he did he could've just actually struck instead of posing above him lol. And we know Minato's hand speed is faster than Ay running,
