Is it safe to use 1 carbonation drop for a 330ml bottle? It's usually 1 for a 375ml bottle. How much larger is the risk of exploding bottles if I prime a 330ml bottle with 1 drop?

You can't blow up a bottle with a priming drop. If you prime a 330ml bottle with a priming drop you'll get a little more carbonation than in the 375ml bottle, but you don't have to worry about exploding bottles. If your bottles start blowing up it's because of incomplete fermentation before bottling, not because of the priming drop.
If I were you I'd consider switching to batch priming. It's cheaper, you don't have to prime every bottle individually, and you never ever have to think about bottle sizes when bottling. See:
