There's a quite a gulf between 'we have captured our enemy, and now execute him' and 'we are under a flag of truce and I will walk behind the dude carrying the flag and backstab him.'
Not saying what Thor did was correct, but again - large gulf. The one is not the other.
In my eyes, he kind of loses any hope when he and Gimli tag-team on a wounded, crippled Orc and take turns beating it to death mid-battle, and then goes on to stab a dude in the back under a flag of truce.
But mileage, it may vary.

Why are we here?

"...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
"Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate
Eh, Cap wasnt able to lift it until Endgame and I always felt like he was pretty noble/worthy through all of his movies. Maybe time needed to pass as far as giving Bucky a free pass regarding Tony's parents? At any rate, Wonder Woman is the only one that comes to mind, possibly Superman.

Eh, neither Thor nor Captain America was above tag-teaming hapless humans. Even Thor did things that seemed unworthy at first glance (like in his first film, he traveled to a planet that his people held an uneasy truce with only to incite Cosmic War II), but *shrugs* Odin is the arbiter* of what is worthy. But you're right, the mileage may vary. Admittedly, I'm a fan of Viggo Mortensen and dug his Aragorn portrayal, so I might be a little biased.
* No relation to the OP, of course.
Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

Ok then, here's the thing, we don't actually know that. We don't actually have any proof Fat Thor was unowrthy. In fact, he specifically still was worthy when he went back in time. There was literally no way it could be tested before then, because Mjolnir was gone and Stormbreaker never had a worthy enchantment.
I don't think it is unreasonable to guess that somewhere in his two years of depression, guilt, and stress eating he may have lost the ability to lift Mjolnir if it was around. But we KNOW that there was no long-term Unworthy phase after killing Thanos. It was a plot point and everything.
Also, I don't know why anyone would think killing Thanos would have made Thor unowrthy, as putting down someone like Thanos is VERY viking. Killed the half universe? Yeah, Odin would have put him to the sword too. If anything made him become Unworthy, it was NOT KILLING THANOS in the first movie (Shoulda aimed for the head) and the resulting guilt spiral.
It was pretty Viking, yeah. :P
