"Surpassing" means "better."

"Better" doesn't necessarily mean "stronger/more powerful."

When Vali used JD during the fight with Loki & Fenrir, he was able to defeat Fenrir (althouh he had help from Arthur's Excaliber-Ruler). Fenrir is Heavely Dragon-Class, so the JD already reached God-Class.

The problem with the JD was that:


 * Vali didn't have complete control over it (he could only enforce some of his will on it).


 * It would drive the user insane.


 * it would drain their life-force if you ran out of demonic/magic power.

But Vali achieved the EJOD, which:


 * Vali has complete control over the form.


 * Doesn't run the risk of him going berserk.


 * But, the stamina & demonic power consumption rate is still the same.

So the EJOD grants the same power, but at a REALLY low risk, making it a "better" form. Therefore "surpassing" the JD.
