Bart:
Assuming that Grindlewald had proper possession of the wand, it was more 
powerful than any other wand, and it's owner could not be defeated in a 
duel (unless the owner throws the fight). It has been established that 
Dumbledore did fight a duel with Grindlewald and defeated him. 
Therefore. Several possibilities are there:

1) Dumbledore got possession of the wand BEFORE the duel.
2) Dumbledore used trickery rather than power.
3) Dumbledore used the "wand" below his belt (which would be a reason 
why JKR, apparently without necessity, declared that DD was gay).

Some here may recall that after DH was published, I pointed out that at 
least the Muggle-born might have set up some non-magical death traps for 
Morty's troops that would kill them before they had a chance to get healed.
