The fact that Giselle was able to take over them despite their hollow powers seems to clarify that their hollow powers can be destroyed, other wise giselle should have not been able to take over them like when they tried to take the bankai from the captains.

I see your points. But Giselle's case doesn't actually prove anything.

Visored only have hollow powers when they call upon their masks. Until they do, they're simple shinigamis. And we didn't get to see their bankais get stolen, so as far as we know at least their bankais couldn't be stolen. Or if they could be stolen, the moment they called upon their masks their bankais would naturally return to them. Without the need for Urahara hollow pills.

Both Kensei and Rose, at no point used their hollow powers. Gremmy killed them by simply using his imagination power. And Giselle simply took the opportunity to turn them into zombies. It's not like she had to drink their blood or anything. And they were dead. So turning them into zombies was quite simple.

And as for Toushirou, even though he got his bankai hollowfied, he was already near death steps when he finished Cang Du. So all Giselle had to do, was wait and act.

At least as I see it, it makes perfect sense why Giselle was able to use them all as zombies.
