Zoro doesn't really need to surpass Oden in Wano. The claim you highlited from Kaido was :
"We will never see a monster Samurai of his like again"
All that Zoro needs to do in Wano to disprove that claim is to make Kaido see that potential in him. To make him think that he has what it takes to become as strong or even stronger than Oden.
It's comparable to how last chapter Kaido and Big Mom saw Roger's image in Luffy
Will Luffy really surpass them in Wano ?
I'd say that's questionable.
Will Luffy become Pirate King after Wano or be as strong as Roger was at his peak ?
I'd say that's even more questionable.
He only needs to do enough to make them think "he's really going to do it".
So that's what i expect from Zoro as well. He will manage to open the scar made by Oden and he will make Kaido see Oden's image in him, the way Luffy made them see Roger's image in him.
