I thought this may have been the case.

...was more of a crusade, a race-wide call for revenge that every dwarven house answered. In their desire for revenge, the dwarves may have been less critical of who was drafted, instead hoping for as great a host as they could muster. Dáin's feat would be impressive still, of course, but he might not have been the only youngling present; I believe Glóin may also have fought at Azanulbizar (he is noted as having been one of those who followed Thráin and Thorin to Dunland; I'm not sure if that is supposed to have happened instantly after the battle), though he was but 16. Still though... 30 years shy of maturity is a big stretch. Perhaps Dain was just overly mature (physically and otherwise) for his age, and was thus deemed eligible to fight despite his lack of years and experience.

Question regarding Dwarves being considered "of age".

Gimli did indeed stay home because he was too young.

It may be more of a matter of perceived maturity than actual age...
