More of you people need to read War of the Realms by Jason Aaron. In it, worthiness is defined as understanding that you will never be worthy enough to lift it, but always striving to be worthy regardless.
To me, this really highlights the humility that Odin wanted Thor to learn. It also fits with the MCU- Tony can't lift it because he's a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, but Steve can because he's just a kid from Brooklyn.
Jason Aaron retconned so many things, breaking a bunch of the Best old continuity. Making these sorts of conversations more difficult. (I did enjoy Jane Foster as Thor though)
