And the number of Balrogs that were slain were a marvel, and a dread to the host of Melkor, for ere that day, never had any Balrog been slain by man or elf.

Basically, call up an incredibly strong Noldo with a gargantuan hammer and watch while he beats on them.

In the event that one fails to get Rog back from Valinor, you can always try my personal favorite: tell them that they have no wings (or unable to fly) and watch as they "prove you wrong" by flinging themselves off a cliff.
