Short of a Vala coming to Middle-Earth, it is doubtful that anyone in middle-earthhad power over the ring (discounting Sauron). Tom Bambadil was not affected by the ring, but weather or not he had power over it is debatable.
Personally, I believe Sam would have been able to shove Frodo into the Cracks of Doom were it necessary. But then again, while Frodo had lost the battle to resist the Ring's influence to put it on, we never fully got to see wether or not Frodo mastered the Ring or it he.
