He has too many self confidence issues. Mjolnir looks into his mind when he attempts to lift it and sees the tiny 5 foot nothing wuss still running Steve's life and thinks "yeah, not happening lol"
Plus, neutronium, good luck lifting that no matter how much you augment a human.

^Inner Steve may be a pushover but I wouldn't call him a wuss. His not backing down attitude was why he was chosen for the Super Soldier Program to begin with. Also, I don't think strength has anything to do with lifting it. In all reality, the hammer should fall to the center of the earth whenever Thor drops it. It's has to be magical.
" Your ancestors called it magic but you call it science. I come from a land where they are one and the same."
However i totally agree with you, the hammer seems to have a mind of its own and recognizes few masters and apparently only one boss, Odin.

And Bor before him. It's nepotism, pure and simple.
This is just my own speculation based on the films, but I tend to think that the way the hammer works is that it bends space-time around it. This is how it's able to "lock" itself in one location, making it quite literally an immovable object and at the same time explaining it's means of propulsion. It doesn't become heavier or lighter depending on who's holding it, but it allows itself to move (or not) depending on who's holding it.
There may even be a 4th dimensional element to it give how it was instantly able to detect Thor on the far side of the cosmos and tried to make a b-line straight for him the long way round. Evidentially it's not smart enough to even try to utilise open wormholes on it's own.

Or just magic.
Do you mean "Uru" ? The special metal the hammer is made of?
I like that one, so just sitting around using it as a drinking game, no, but in need, possibly. Cool
At this point, it would be easier to put out a press release announcing characters who won't be played by Arnold Cabbagepatch.
And it looks like Jessica Jones will be played by Krysten Ritter, and I'm superstoked about that.
Ah, so now it's officially official. I thrilled by both the Cumberbatch and Ritter news.
I am overjoyed that Cumberbatch is Doctor Strange. I don't really know anything about Jessica Jones, but I like Ritter a lot, so it'll be cool to see her get her own show.
I wonder if Cumberbatch is going to go with his British accent or an American one in Doctor Strange.
I'm really excited about CumberStrange. I'm a big fan of of Cumerbatch, so I'm glad to see him going to the MCU.
My only familiarity with Krysten Ritter is Don't Trust the B____ in Apartment 23, but she was good in that so I trust she'll good in Jessica Jones. I don't know anything about Jessica Jones though.

I have the same feelings for Cumberbatch that I had for Robert Downey Jr. when I heard he was casted to be Iron Man, I only saw a few of their movies at the time and didn't have any real opinion of their work, but my low expectations with Downey paid off as he is now my definitive Iron Man. I probably wont be disappointed but we'll see what CumberStrange has to offer.
