The surface area issue is actually being ignored/misread. Ren caught the attack by the fangs, at the very tips. Nora used her whole hands to block it. To call the impact point a cubic centimeter would be silly, considering it's likely far less. Now, the entire force was negated, meaning all that force was pushing all in this 0.5 cm squared area, as opposed to being spread out over the entire palm/fingers. This means that Ren's feat is more impressive to avoid any piercing damages.
