Personally, I see Thor refusing to even try to lift the hammer as a display of the strenght of his character. Yes, the hammer would've given him power similar to the one he had before, but Thor said it himself, that wasn't his hammer.

By looking for Ultimate Mjolnir, Thor was clinging to the past, trying to find a way to ignore his predicament and indulge in the closest thing to what he once had. It felt like a washed-up athlete trying to get the spotlight one more time. Now, in the process of looking for the other hammer, he picked himself up. He might not have a hammer, but he returned to being a hero.
