How is Magneto's shielding trumping Thor's lightning for a greater percentage than Thor's own innate strength would enable to keep his arm from being thrown around. And, I also don't see how that's an automatic win.
Magneto's power isn't greater than Thor's physical strength and neither is his force field for Asgardian lightning.
It might be worth pointing out that Magneto has demonstrated the ability to call down lightning and direct it through other people, renew his strength by doing so, contest directly against people who normally have good CONTROL over lightning, AND generate powerful electric shock in the absence of visible lightning. Read carefully the following.

Magneto's shields have held up just fine vs Thor's physical strength (while he was wielding Mjolnir and you can throw She-Hulk in there too just for fun) :
Yes, I'm aware of that scan from the 1950s that has Magneto straining to stop Thor's attacks. But he underwent a rebirth that boosted his powers in the 70s. So that showing doesn't hold water.
