Chances are, if you ran into gargoyles and you can't kill them at all, you're way too low level for whatever dungeon/quest you're doing. I would guess you're in Sideways Cave (I think that's the one, it's full of imps and has a flooded area with dead archaeologists?) Personally, I find Mystic Imps to be much more of a hassle, as gargoyles are only strong in melee combat. Your best bet against any kind of imp is to use a ranged attack and hide behind a corner, ducking out to fire a shot, waiting for them to shoot, and ducking back to dodge (be careful about their area spells, though). It's a little cheap, but unfortunately a little cheapness is required sometimes due to the combat in Oblivion being a little unrealistic (and unreasonable in some cases, especially with OOO, and especially on that last Mages' Guild quest with there being 5 necromancers and 2 spectral reavers in one room...)

 

If you really want to remove or balance them, you're going to have to edit the OOO esp file in the construction set. Chances are removing them flat out will bug the game, but you could reduce their health, attack damage, or spell power to your taste. Not sure if that'll work though, as, in my case, trying to edit OOO (or even just use something from it in another mod file) will crash the construction set on save.
