Since Athena, Ares and Hephaestus can harm Zeus, and other gods should be comparable to them, minor Gods of Olympus should be upgraded to Large Country level.
Athena kicked Zeus' brain, causing him to writhe in pain.

Athena though she might be strong enough to break out of Zeus' chest.
She dissolved into pure thought — a little trick her mother. Metis, had taught her — and traveled up Zeus’s spinal cord straight into his brain, where she re-formed. She started kicking and hammering and screaming inside Zeus’s skull, making as much racket as she could.
“No, thanks…” Zeus grimaced. “I…” Suddenly red spots danced before Zeus’s eyes. Pain racked his body, and a voice in his head screamed: LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!
Zeus fell from his chair, writhing in agony. “Cut my skull!” he wailed. “Get it out of me!”
Athena though she might be strong enough to break out of Zeus' chest.
Hephaustus can penetrate Zeus' skull with his awl.As for her daughter, she grew up in Zeus’s body, the same way the earlier Olympians had grown up in Kronos’s belly. Once the child was an adult (a small, super-compressed, very uncomfortable adult) she started looking for a way to escape into the world. None of the options seemed good. If she erupted from Zeus’s mouth, everyone would laugh at her and say she had been vomited. That was undignified. If she followed Zeus’s digestive track the other way—Nope! That was even grosser. She was a strong young goddess, so she might have been able to break out of Zeus’s chest, but then everybody would think she was one of the monsters from the Alien movies, and again, that was not the kind of entrance she was looking for.
Ares broke Zeus' finger shortly after he was born.He marched up to Zeus, set the point of the awl in the middle of the sky god’s forehead, raised his hammer, and BANG!
After that, they called him One-Hit Hephaestus.
He used enough force to penetrate the skull without turning Zeus into a god-kebab. From the awl point to the bridge of Zeus’s nose, a fissure spread—just wide enough for Athena to squeeze her way out.
-Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Ares the Manly Man's Manly Man, Page 213Zeus reached down to tickle the baby’s chin. Ares grabbed his dad’s finger with both hands and twisted it. SNAP! The baby pounded his tiny chest and yelled, “RARR!”
Zeus examined his immortal finger, which was now dangling at a funny angle. “You know…perhaps we should get the boy a nanny.”
