[Avengers]Could Thor have stopped the leviathan like Hulk did?

In the battle of New York, Iron Man brings the leviathan to the avengers where Hulk famously gets mad and stops it with his fist. But couldn't Thor just do it? Using his hammer?

Probably, but only if it hit it as part of a melee attack. 

If he threw the hammer, it most likely would have gone straight though. In Ragnarok, we see the hammer punch through solid rock when called.

MCU Thor's power levels vary depending on the movie and if he's holding Mjolnir or not (pre Ragnarok). Post Ragnarok, I'd argue that he's a better fighter, seeing as he's less dependent on his hammer in combat.
