One way might be to rule that when a creature uses a weapon with a STR requirement less than one third of his own STR then the weapon only adds +1d6 extra damage to his damage bonus. If the creature STR is more than four times higher than the weapons STR requirement then the weapon adds a flat +2.
Example: a Giant with STR 45 that uses a Halberd (req. STR 13) does 6d6+1d6 damage. If the Giant used a dagger it would do 6d6+2. If the Giant uses a trollmaul, it could make use of the momentum of the weapon and do 3d6+6d6 in damage.
