That would be delightful, but as I read it the question was about a weapon singlehandedly rendering nukes irrelevant by its own destructive potential, not in tandem with an otherwise pretty low-damage nuke-nullifier that happens to be invented around the same time. Unless your idea of "destroy them" is to actually detonate your enemy's own nukes in their bunkers... well, that's still a hard sell for "surpassing", since you're either using the nukes after all or just convincing your enemy to take them off the table.
