You also have to take into consideration if Galadriel, Gandalf, and Saruman had one ring they would of became the new dark lord of the lands. But they are also immortal spirts and they all share that trait. But I believe if someone like Aragorn or Borimir both being strong men would of weilded it much the same way. Isildur had the ring for two years before it betrayed him. And he was mighty to without the ring, it really doesn't say much of his physical or other states of being, but all would have to of been enhanced by this ring. And eventhough Isildur probably wore it as a necklace he still would of gained some of the positive benifits of the ring. Becuase in ROTK when merely holding the ring in his hand sam was able to scare off the orc. So I believe given enough time the frodo would be able to control the nazgul. But the ring would still have malice toward him and seek to betray him. Because the ring isn't happy until it is on the finger of Sauron.
