There is probably a user-written routine that does this.  But one way 
is to do something like

gen touse = !missing(y, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5)
pwcorr y x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 if touse, sig

Also,

reg y x1 x2 x3 x4 x5
pwcorr y x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 if e(sample), sig

Given how internally consistent Stata usually is, I'm surprised the 
corr and pwcorr options are so different from each other.
