Look in the thread that was linked to above. Glorfindel said that the Witch-king wouldn't be slain by a Man, not that he couldn't be slain by a Man. It all depends on how you look at the prophecy. In that case, I don't think that a Hobbit would have been able to successfully slay the Witch-king. As it is, it took both Merry and Eowyn to finish them off, and both of them succumbed to the Black Breath. One Hobbit would not have stood a chance.
