The requirement for special spells to break enchanted gear is specific to Yggdrasil items enchanted with Data Crystals, it probably does not apply completely to the various enchantment methods common in the New World (Yggdrasil equipment is widely known to be nearly indestructable compared to ordinary magic gear of the New World). Even a max level warrior build like Albedo cannot simply destroy Yggdrasil magic items with raw physical strength, but she can probably destroy nearly any item created using New World methods easily.

Enchanted armor and weapons can adjust to the shape of the user, within certain constraints. The main problem is that a very small armor/weapon stretched for a large user will be more vulnerable to damage (from corrosive and sundering attacks, not just magic). That is to say, the total HP of the item itself will still be based on the quality and quantity of the original material, but it will be subjected to much more stress in use. The reverse problem would be weight, while weight reduction is a common enchantment for armor, it doesn't further reduce the weight for a smaller user. A wartroll's armor with an enchantment that reduces the weight by half still weighs far too much for a normal human.
