It's not at all troublesome when you have sixteen tonnes of dust, a highly trained pyromancer, a borderline psychotic and highly trained human criminal, at least two other likely powerful human associates and a small human army of henchmen there to supplement your already infinite supply of huntsmen and your stock of exceptional fighters (Adam for example and I doubt he's the only one) and when you have the four teachers closest to said girl attending the Vytal Festival Finals.

And it wouldn't just be to assassinate Weiss, they would likely get paid a boatload of money by Roman (assuming that is what Roman gave the henchman at the end of Episode 8) and they'd be able to get close to Blake whom betrayed them just one year ago AND they'd also be able to target what seems to be a primarily human combat school (no Faunus teachers, presently we know of two Faunus and eleven Human students, with one Faunus being openly discriminated against, seemingly without consequence and the other feels the need to hide their heritage)

You said: "The problem is none of them are stupid enough-and if they are none of them are powerful enough to cause significant damage" Here we have a group that want to (in my theory at least) cause significant damage to Beacon (Cinder, Gray, Torquoise and Roman) whom need to find a powerful and feared group to act as their cannon fodder. The White Fang on the other hand may have their eyes on Weiss and Blake. Sure they by themselves probably wouldn't attack Beacon but with Roman leading the charge and a near endless supply of dust they could easily justify atacking Beacon, moreso if there was an event that perhaps dragged away the actual hunters that work their. After all, to get to Weiss and Blake they are going to have to go through their eventually.

My single point was that its possible the WF are working with Roman because through their relationship they can find a way to Blake and/or Weiss. Whether that attack occurs at the Festival, at Beacon itself or elsewhere. The padded forces justify branding themselves as an enemy of Beacon (which is sure to happen if they attempt to kill two students there) and make it far easier to get to Weiss. Two armies instead of one makes a lot of difference... (that is if Roman is still allied with Junior's men, I assume so given that said goons are shown in the intro).
