In MySQL 5.7, partition pruning is supported for the TO_DAYS(), TO_SECONDS(), YEAR(), and UNIX_TIMESTAMP() functions. See Partition Pruning, for more information.
(What version are you on? Older versions had more restrictions.)

Yeah, Partitioning is rather restrictive.

As of 5.6.4, MySQL permits fractional seconds for TIME, DATETIME, and TIMESTAMP values, with up to microseconds (6 digits) precision. To define a column that includes a fractional seconds part, use the syntax type_name(fsp), where type_name is TIME, DATETIME, or TIMESTAMP, and fsp is the fractional seconds precision.
So, TIMESTAMP(4) would give you the equivalent of DECIMAL(14,4).
(If you want only milliseconds, then 3 instead of 4.)

OR...

PARTITION BY RANGE (FLOOR(`time`)) -->
PARTITION BY RANGE (`time`)
since FLOOR does not change the functionality.

I tried your CREATE on 5.6.13 (even with the FLOOR()) -- I got no errors, and it did partition pruning correctly.
