Question

I agree that the situation of Galadriel was unique and complicated. She was a strong character. However, the fact that she is non-Maia is a heavy blow against her.

The wording of this last sentence makes it sound like Galadriel could have successfully claimed the Ring for herself.
It's possible, maybe. (However, I strongly doubt it.)

The first thing that leaps to my mind is that it was her full grown wisdom that caused her to understand that it was a false promise of power.
