[Marvel/MCU] Just how smart was Abraham Erskine?

In the MCU, Erskine makes the super soldier serum and then promptly gets killed and his notes are destroyed. Some of the world's best scientists spend decades trying to recreate the formula that made Captain America. They have access to Steve Rogers's blood and most of the scientists who worked on Project Rebirth are alive and well after the attack on Erskine. So why was no one able to figure it out? Does Erskine just outclass even guys like Howard Stark and Bruce Banner? What about in the comics?

Howard did eventually remake the serum.

Also it's partly the fact that Erskine's serum only works with the right subject. With someone who isn't Steve Rogers, the serum would immediately go wrong. That's what happened with the Banner's serum - it brought out the worst of Banner's and Blonsky's personalities. Everyone trying to recreate the serum keeps forgetting that fact, that the only reason Captain America was such a wild success was entirely due to Steve.
