However, I DO think that Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel overopowered Sauron when they rejected the One Ring.

The objective of Sauron, and the will which towards he bent all his power, was to dominate others. The creation of the One Ring was with the sole purpose of controlling elves, men and dwarves.

When Galadriel, Gandalf and Elrond rejected the ring, they overpowered it because they could not be mastered by the power of the Ring. They were their own masters, and their will was able to resist Sauron's will, and they defeated him when they rejected the ring because the Ring did not have power over them.

Not only did they outsmart him, they overpowered him.
