Didn't see Khan fighting an Ep III length duel, the clone wars,
surviving a couple of hundred feet drop onto a moving car, having an arm cut off, (no prob, bung on a robot limb et voila) or surviving total burns to the body internally and externally, surviving death itself.
I don't see it as debatable. Kirk punched him over and over in the face and he didn't do much at all but flinch. No damage could be seen.
It took a raging Spock, who is definitively superior to humans in strength and reflexes without raging, to put some damage on Khan.
Anakin doing those things accomplished them with the force: his skin itself is not more durable.
HOWEVER!!!!!!!
That one scene where he drops in Ep II and grabs on to the speeder as it flies by? That requires a shit ton of more grip strength than it did McClane grabbing the vent when he fell a few flights down the shaft and McClane's gripping feat is comfortably into the superstrength department (albeit, still low-level super strength for McClane, but super strength, none-the-less).
I'm going to say that Anakin, based on screen feats, is definitively stronger than Khan and by a significant margin. Khan has nothing close to Anakin's "grab a speeder as it flies by" feat.

Khan's feat: Building stuff. Being able to formulate a plan and rule.
He's supposed to have an IQ over 200, right? And that's in a future where people are smarter n'stuff. Anakin also built a protocol droid as an 8-year old, snot nosed, whiny brat. A protocol droid that has over 6 million forms of communication. He also built the fastest pod-racer in existence at the same snot-nose age.
So, yes, I agree with you in the smarts department. I forgot that the boy version of Anakin was stupid smart. Khan used existing technologies from the Federation to build the dreadnaught class. He just threw on more weapons and made it bigger.

Anakin built stuff all the time. Made plans. Ruled a lot. Also wasn't outwitted by an Engine room guy.
Hey, now, Scotty is one of the most intelligent and resourceful engineers in Starfleet history: hardly a fair comparison to Khan. 🙂
