That does not destroy the Ring though, which is the implicit goal.
All that does is encase it in molten rock, rendering it impossible for Sauron's enemies to destroy him permanently. That, and he could easily summon a Balrog himself to fetch it for him, if he so wished.
Having said all that, I see no evidence that the Basilisk's fang can overcome the enchantment of the Ring. The venom never demonstrated dealing a deathblow to an enchant that strong before.

LoTR strictly states what is required to destroy the One Ring. So if you pose that something else might be able to do it, burden of proof is on you.
Prove your case, go on 🙂

I think you are thinking of it in the wrong terms. Take this example if you will....The juggernaut is invulnerable because of that pesky gem BUT if you are more powerful then Cyttorak then you can harm him. The magic protecting the ring isn't the same. There is no "over powering it". What is, just is. Nothing can harm the ring except the lava from MT Doom.
Anyways Gandalf may make mistakes but the man knows his stuff....I mean he's been around for 2,000 years.

Sauron put the fate of his existence and his evil plans in the ring. Do you really think he would do so if the ring could be conveniently destroyed by magic/poison? The ring is considered impervious to damage.
It is explained in the books that the ring is not susceptible to dragon fire, enchanted weaponry or magic. The movies expect the audience to believe in the rings invincibility without actual resistance feats. And it is a safe assumption that the ring is impervious, considering middle earth's most respected leaders and councilors all agreed to send a fellowship to Mt. Doom to destroy the ring.

Basilisk fang decimates the weak ring.

Now you've gone done it, inb4 quan or Supra parroting "baww no book feetz"
Though Sauron poured a majority of his power into teh ring, and he he exceeds the Basilisk in power by a large margain. Should be a case of needing to be more powerful than Sauron to destroy the Ring (at least my take on it)

One of Gimli's axes for a start. That got repulsed so violently it threw the guy and the pieces of his axe all over the council chambers.
And 2, it lasted several seconds against the lava of Mt Doom before finally succumbing. It lasted a hell of a lot longer than Gollum's body did.
It lasted 4,500 years on the riverbed, without tarnishing or rusting. Much more longevity than anything from HP.
Then it survived 500 years of being Gollum's cockring. *shudders*
