And what about the Dragon that have already received a few dozen hit ? Do you think another weak hit should drop it ? You see, DW has a mechanic for that. When your characters land a hit on him even with this all powerful sword, you can decide that your Dragon doesn't receive any damage, but he get more angry and start to open himself for the few decisive strike that will put a fitting end to an epic fight.
Remember, it's your game ! You do what you want with it as long as when the characters succeed at the moves they make, you describe how their succes IS a success.
One way to do it :
After a few hit where the players are trying to find how to kill the beast, you givve them an opportunity.
Fighter, you succesfully dodge the Dragon bite and make a good hit at his face that will blind him on one side. The Dragon roar in rage but leave it's thoat exposed, this could be a fatal mistake, but he move in a frantic way weaving his huge claws at the group. What do you do ?
Now you see, other hits didn't take off any hp off the dragon, but they were still success as they made the fight progress.
