The mirror was nuclear-proof for all we know, even though it shows that it evades blows by making people swing away from it, it does not mean that the glass itself is not protected against enormous force by something supernatural.
The way I saw the dad damaging it was because in his last few seconds, just as in his wives last few seconds, he snaps out of being under it's control and allows himself to be killed, I assume this momentarily weakened the force behind the mirror meaning even a pebble could break it. But under normal circumstances I'd bet the anchor would still just bounce off, likely it is fragile glass protected by a layer of paranormal juju.
A 400 year old mirror known to have killed 4 dozen people would at least at one point be struck by a projectile large enough to dmg it, yet the only dmg it ever receives was from the head of someone who was under it's spell and temporarily resisted it's power. Weakening it.
