For some reason I get the feeling that someone (Thingol) is trying to get my goat.

The nazgul wouldnt have been hurt by the maces,whips, or any other weapons of the Balrogs.
The Balrogs might not be able to destroy their spirits, but I think they could destroy their forms.

Quote:
However, since Balrogs are Maiar, I seriously doubt that the Nazgūl had the capacity or capability of terrifying the them beyond their wits. Balrogs are just inherently much more powerful.

So don't forget that the Nazgūl are merely ruined men, posessed, but still just men.
Bingo! There is no way the enslaved shade of a human mortal would be able to defeat a powerful spirit that had been in existance since before the beginning of time.

Quote:
Even with their chief weapon being sheer, bone-chilling terror, They cannot possibly overcome a Maia.
Example: Gandalf (also Maia) stood off all Nine at once, alone, at night, when their power was greatest.
And a Balrog killed him. So, match goes to the Balrogs.
