That's the reason for using the cope method for inside corners. Use
paintable caulk water soluble.

I can make 20 perfect inside corner joints on a decent power miter saw
in the time it takes you to make one coped inside corner joint (if
you're lucky and don't screw up the coping).

If I want to make adjustments of a fraction of a degree, I use folded
paper on the backside of the molding in the appropriate spot.

But I agree on the caulk if this is painted molding.
