Actually, Castiel cleary stated that he was stronger and smarter than Crowley, even before the loan. Im not sure about the enochian spells. Wouldnt killing Crowley negate any spell he put up? If there were enochian sigils in hell, then Castiel would not have been able to enter hell in the first place, but there he was.

The number shown in The Man Who would be King was more precisely 6,611,527,124: close to 7 billion. I think the number was accurate. Scientific estimates of how many homo sapiens(humans) have ever lived throughout the entire species history are as high as 100 billion. Perhaps there are many more people as ghosts and in heaven than there are people in hell. If castiel really was that desperate he could have taken souls from heaven, or at least the part of heaven he controlled. It seems this wasnt beneath him, since why else would he have created more human souls by saving the titanic?
