We don't know in which situation the Black Sword of Turin would be able to harm Morgoth. Perhaps the sword would be the vehicle in which some other power poisons the 'spirit' of Morgoth, and destroys it. I'm thinking something like a vaccine and a syringe, the syringe will not do anything to us but it will help to open an entrance for the vaccine itself.
