I don't think it's a question of who should be given most of the credit for destroying Sauron. It may sound cheesy but it all comes down to - for lack of a better word- teamwork and comradership. Neither Frodo nor Sam could have done it alone.
Child of the 7th age, I agree with what you said about Frodo. It certainly wasn't for his strength, or wisdom, or intelligence that he was chosen to bear the ring. He had to be 'the most unusual suspect' - in order for Sauron not to suspect the plot. And the rest was left up to 'destiny' or 'luck'.
