Who ever said that Scatha was so much weaker than Smaug? Obviously Smaug was more powerful, but just because Scatha is called 'the Worm' doesn't mean he didn't have wings or limbs, the name worm doesn't specify that he was a serpentine dragon like the 'Wurms' in certain popular trading card games. "Every worm has his weak spot" applied to Smaug too. Sure, Scatha may not have had the fire of Smaug, but that's no reason to rule him out of the power factor, he may just have been the other winged dragon, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been mentioned in the first place.
