Even if the Elves had been successful in invading Angband, do you really think that they could make (and keep) Morgoth their prisoner? Think of the havoc he had wrecked in Valinor, and this was under the watchful eyes of the Vala themselves. He would have had them divided, confused, and weakened in no time. Their doom was to fight a force they could not conquer alone. At least, that's the picture that comes to mind when I think of it.
