Tony dislodged the beam, Thor vaporized most of the city. We don't even see debris outside dust and the vibration rod. He also did this to something moving away from him at high speed.
No one in any of these movies has anything even arguably in that league no matter how much some people want to down play it.
Uh no? Its not even close to that and Thor would've been vaporized if not for Tony using a heat shield to save him.

The city's not coming down slow.
Stark : Spire is vibranium.If I get Thor to hit it...
FRIDAY : It will crack. That's not enough.The impact would still be devastating.
STARK: Maybe if we can cap the other end.Keep the atomic action doubling back.
FRIDAY: That could vaporise the city & everyone on it..
STARK : I got it. Create a heat seal.I could...I could supercharge the spire from below.
FRIDAY Running numbers
FRIDAY : A heat seal could work with enough power.
STARK: Thor, I got a plan.
THOR : We're out of time.
The feat is basically nothing, Thor hit the core, the attack kept being doubling within the loop creating a chain reaction and Tony shielded Thor with a heat seal.
It's a non feat basically. Thor neither destroyed a city nor tanked the explosion of a city.
We already saw that Mjolnir hitting vibranium amplifies Thor's striking earlier when Thor hits Cap's shield against Hydra soldiers.
The fact that they outright say that Thor hitting Spire would only crack it should tell you that Thor wasn't capable of destroying the city or close to it.
