Comics are full of contradictions but I say this
The hammer can't be lifted FROM THE GROUND nor wrestled from Thor's grip. By your logic the hammer hitting down on anyone in universe should crush them, even Thanos face. But that isn't the case.
I reason the hammer on the ground MIRRORS your own force trying to lift it but in the opposite direction. Thus your own force cancels with itself. That is why NO ONE, WITHOUT REMOVING THE MIRRORING EFFECT, can lift it, not even Galactus.
