First time souls-borne player here. I started the game out with the warrior class because I figured it would be the most well rounded, however, I did a little reading and found that the samurai and vagabond were supposedly good classes for people just starting out. Is it worth it to reset the little progress I have to start out with a different class that might be better?

Short answer; no.

Long answer: If you're really struggling and still quite early, swapping to Samurai isn't a terrible idea, it has a good stat spread and good starting gear. Elden Ring though, like all Soulsborne games, doesn't really put much empthasis on your class. All it is is your starting stats and gear. A couple bosses in, your starting stats won't matter near as much as how you've been leveling, and you can find the gear Samurai starts with in the starting area, if you really want to use a katana. So feel free to do whatever you want/is fun for you, but I wouldn't bother, personally.
