Yes I agree. I think calling the wand unbeatable is just one of those
legends that grew up around it, like the one that said it was made by
Mr. Death. The Elder Wand is the most powerful wand in the world, but
it would be going too far to call it unbeatable.

That would only work if the Elder Wand's target happens to also be the
master of the Elder Wand, a wand will not kill its master no matter
who is holding it. Voldemort was holding the only wand it the world
that could not kill Harry, not even if used by a very powerful dark
wizard, because Harry was and will continue to be the Master of the
Elder Wand (so you might as well use it Harry!).
