At that point, his struggles come almost entirely from his own psychological wounds, which he lacks the tools to properly process. That, and the presumed loss of power from Asgard's destruction, is enough to keep him sufficiently weakened in the final stages of Phase 3, which justifies the poundings he takes.
Instead of going directly for Thanos' head, he let his emotions get the best of him, allowing the Mad Titan time to execute the snap. He also failed to recruit the Eternals in the fight, despite already knowing of their existence at that point.
In order to grant anyone powers, Thor needed to channel them through the Thunderbolt of Zeus - which is why he didn't use this power in Avengers: Endgame.
Infinity War Thor Vs Endgame Thanos People mention Fat Thor and say he was at his absolute peak yet he couldn't take down Thanos thus proving Infinity War Thor would literally stand no chance, but this is just Wrong. Fat Thor didn't use his Awakened powers nor his flight advantage over Thanos.
Could Thor have killed Thanos if he aimed for the head?
Thanos himself implied that Thor would have killed him if he had gone for the head, thus preventing him from snapping. Post-Awakened Thor later killed Thanos with one hit when he went for the head using Stormbreaker.
During a conflict between Beta Ray Bill and Thor, who had been turned into an Herald of Galactus, Bill prevented Mjolnir from returning to its bearer's hand. Seeing no options to reach an agreement, Thor called Stormbreaker and destroyed it by hitting it against Mjolnir.
Healing: The axe was able to fully heal Thor and restore his strength when he was badly burned exposing himself to the power of the dying star. Clothes Generation: Stormbreaker is able to conjure various armors such as a viking-like black armor and blue and gold armor.
During a Vudu Viewing Party for Avengers: Infinity War, co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo revealed a key difference between Thor's hammer Mjolnir and his new ax Stormbreaker: the latter doesn't require worthiness.

Thanos and Hulk have clashed several times in Marvel lore, with Thanos even admitting he was scared to face the Hulk before acquiring the Infinity Stones. While Thanos is usually the victor, it's generally down to him using superior tactics and technology, rather than simply possessing greater physical strength.
Who would win in an MCU fight: Odin or Thanos? Without the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos stands little chance against Prime Odin. Odin is stated to be able to shatter the Earth.
Putting it all together, Thor can win against the Hulk, even if he can't kill the Jade Giant.

Can Infinity War Thor with Stormbreaker beat Endgame Thanos without the Infinity Gauntlet? No he cannot. However L&T Prime Thor with or without Stormbreaker would curbstomp Thanos. He's far too strong for Thanos in his L&T Prime.

Storm breaker is meant to be the strongest weapon of Asgard and could even summon bifrost, says Eitri. But there is no enchantment or spell on it like it was on Mjolnir. So one doesn't have to be worthy to weild it, just the strength to lift it. Clearly Thanos is capable of lifting it.
But as it turns out, it was not just Thor's strength. After all, no weapon in existence should be able to stop the combined power of the Infinity Stones, no matter how powerful the wielder is. Turns out, Thanos was taken unawares. He had just incapacitated all the heroes who tried to stop him.
Though usually paired against beings like Adam Warlock or Drax the Destroyer, the Mad Titan has no shortage of archrivals to choose from. But the one being Thanos hates more than anyone is the Merc With A Mouth himself, Deadpool – a rivalry that MCU fans are likely going to miss.
The fear of losing Pepper, or his best friends like Happy, Steve Rodgers, or Rhodey, was something Tony wouldn't be able to live with and was the primal force pushing him to defend the Earth. So when the first members of the Black Order landed on Earth, Tony's biggest fear was coming to life.
