I think you have good enough weapons, you just need a higher armor rating. Adamantite Armor (melee helm for highest defense) and +def reforges on your 5 accessories should be all you really need. Ironskin Potion is also helpful. Ideally you should be able to get somewhere in the 60-70 defense range. With that and Dao of Pow, you should be able to defeat the Destroyer.

Although the Dao of Pow does more damage to the multiple segments of the Destroyer, it also gives the Probes confusion. In my opinion, that's bad because it scares them away. I prefer to kill the probes with a sword, because they have a 100% heart drop rate, making them an excellent source of healing.
