One thing you can do... ask Tolkien himself.

I don't think you can reallly put the death of Ancalagon in the question of dragons being "killable"....

Even if lore put it in a way that gives you assurance that he was definitely killed, the author leaving the "how" in the air as a mystery (or not) is probably because he wanted to leave it to the reader's mind. Or rather, imagination.

So going back to your question:   "What I question, is how feasible killing one could be..."

It is feasible. Smaug was killed, with the last black arrow and last hope of Bard.

Ancalagon was killed (however way he was killed)..... by Earendil after an entire day of fighting.

Therefore it is feasible.

Put it in the MOD? You can, but reducing, not only the size, but the splendour and grandeur of both sides of the conflict.

Back to what you said: It seems to me, that it shouldn't be realisticly possible, 

'They are realistically possible in Middle Earth...Smaug and Ancalagon... BUT if you're talking about it in the Mod.... One can only reduce its (the fight, the dragon, the slayer's) overall splendour. And I think Tolkien left it as it is for it is in the mystery (Ancalagon's how) that we dwell on ......and what we imagine gives the greatness it deserves...'

"without either a very clever (and reliable) plan,extreme luck, or extreme magical enhancement."

If you mean in the mod, it is beyond (almost) reach....unless Mevans put it so that having a 100,000 alignment with the good side(or valar) will give a player the ability to fly(or boat) and give the player whatever power or weapon Earendil have...

Sorrry for the ramblings...
