Why would making the monster weaker be more realistic? Many reptiles how thick scaly skin, making them diddicult to kill. That's one reason why no one has been able to kill Gustave, that mutant crocodile that's been eating people in Africa. He's been shot, stabbed, and was even caught in a bear trap, but he always managed to escape with only a few new scars. Furthermore, Godzilla spends much of his time at the bottom of the ocean. The water pressure there could easily crush most submarines, and a creature the size of Godzilla would definitely feel the pressure. He would need to be extremely durable to survive down there. That is also why the military's weapons had little to no effect on the monster in the movie Cloverfield. It's skin was designed to withstand intense pressure, so it could easily withstand the military's barrage. With Godzilla, it's basically the same concept. You would also need to take into account the animal's large size. Most weapons would be rendered useless against such giants. You would stand a better chance of killing an elephant with a BB gun.

Also, asexual reproduction isn't exclusive to females. It usually occurs in genderless species.
