Durin's Bane was one of the strongest ever, the Elves united couldn't kill him. One killed Ancalagon alone, and you say that a mere Balrog would eclipse that power? And Gothmog was killed by them, as Catfishperson says, so you can hardly say anything less would be a massive challenge, when the hardest was defeated.
