Odin was still old back when he and Hela were wrecking civilizations. Age doesn't really factor much into this fight.
That said, I don't think he can strip her of her powers. I feel like he would have done that over imprisoning her a few millennia if he could have. Still, based off implied power, I don't see him having much trouble with her.
Except we have no idea how he defeated her. Was it in a straight up battle? Did he use any artifacts from his vault? For all we know he sneak attacked her from behind right after she slaughtered the Valkyries.
So even though he himself says he couldn't stop her, not wouldn't kill her or couldn't kill his own daughter, flat out couldnt stop her. In your opinion he meant he could have killed her but didn't want to and chose to lock her away instead. Knowing that she will be free one day upon his death, and that she is the bringer of Ragnarock and will destroy Asgard and possibly everything else, but did it anyway to spare her life. All after she already slaughtered his entire army of Valkyries that he sent to presumably kill her?
If so, that seems like a bit of a reach. I feel the more logical conclusion would be that he couldn't stop her like he said and had to imprisoner because it was his only option left.

More likely, he didn't strip her of her powers as no powers would mean no extended life span. He didn't want to kill her.

I would add to the fact that Odin specifically stated, "She draws her strength from Asgard...Once she reaches there her power will be limitless". To my criteria Odin defeated or imprisoned Hela outside Asgard. Otherwise, such a fight would leave colateral damage on Asgard...People would hear of it like we hear of WW2...Yet no one remembers Hela...No one heard of her. Probably the fight took place on a remote place, just Hela and Odin.
That image took place YEARS before Odin fought Laufey, the 9 realms were just conquered. Yet Odin was considerably younger in the wars between the Asgard and Jotunheim! Furthermore, Odin himself claimed they had a hard time defeating the Giants.
So it's clear that not only Odin was quite younger in his fight with Hela, but also that he was way more powerful...Remember that Odin did lost an eye against the Giants so, it's obvious he grew weaker.
Conclusion: Either Odin was way stronger in his youth or Hela was weaker, cause there is no way Frost Giants>>>Hela.

not seeing how that's more likely. Which scene in the movie did Odin say he didn't want to kill her? Was it after he sent his entire host of his most elite warriors to charge at her with swords on their flying horses?
He did that to keep her imprisoned, not kill her. May I suggest watching the movie again and this time paying attention.

I'll give u credit for doing a nice little dance around the question. I'll ask it again and I suggest this time u pay attention. Which scene in the movie did Odin say he didn't want to kill her?
Why should I bother responding to your obvious attempt at a straw man?

I always love it when someone who devotes multiple posts to something turns around and claims they don't care either way. Yeah, we believe you.
By the way, I didn't make a claim. If you actually read my post before deciding to have a hissy fit, you would notice I said "more likely". That isn't making a claim. That is saying of all the possible reasons for his actions, this is the one I think is, wait for it. Most likely.

It's quite possible he didn't take away her powers simply because he wasn't able to do so. Not all "gods" are created equal. Perhaps imprisonment was the best he could do.
