It's not a matter of being simpler, it's a matter of actually working. Any number of ways work.

If you have the resources you can face them head on though that's inefficient just like facing hounds head on is.

You can move as you need to to avoid them since they are indeed slow (note that this is not constant movement). Only avoiding them is ultimately futile since they will begin to stack up if you spend a lot of time underground, and at a certain worm density you'll no longer be able to perform actions before one can hit you. The best way to handle them is to lure them to fight another enemy, Rock Lobsters being the optimal choice since they're tough buggers.

If you have a lot of time on your hands you can also dodge their attacks and get a hit in before they burrow, similar to tentacles.
