Sounds like a good enough presumption, since only Ecthelion, Glorfindel, and Gandalf managed it.

Basically, you'd just have to be awesome. Balrogs were originally Maiar, of the same kind as Gandalf, Sauron, Saruman, Osse, Radagast, etc. Subsequently, they are immortal spirits that have the potency to exist outside of Arda, and as such, a great spirit would be required to defeat them.
