That is a possibility one can imagine to happen, but then we would have the Second Age fiasco all over again: Morgoth eventually starting negotiating with them and in the end corrupting them and turning them against the Elves, preferably, or at least corrupting part of them and turning them against each other. Or, another possibility, he could just sit inside and wait for their guard to weaken (while still breeding some new horrors in some deep caverns and then unleashing them, just like he did with Glaurung - I mean, what you are proposing is basically the same thing as the union of Maedhros: Angband surrounded, but Morgoth still inside, only waiting for his moment). Morgoth has time. The mortals don't. And they don't have very strong will. He has. He could really easily corrupt at least some of them, I think, and that would be sufficient.
