The only thing really strong enough to hurt a servant is another servant. Not even the strongest of masters can really face a servant (I think there might be a few that did very briefly) and I'm not sure the summons would be strong enough to do damage.
But Rulers are a whole different animal. Spoilers for Fate/Apocrypha follow.

One of the servants in Apocrypha was Lancer of Black, True Name Vlad III. In the Fate universe a servant's strength is based on the location the grail war is taking place and the strength of their legend. Apocrypha took place in Romania. While the fight occurred in Romania he was arguably the strongest servant. He got taken out of Romania and was forced to use his second noble phantasm. Legend of Dracula. Which turned him into the strongest Vampire in existence. He was basically able to rag doll the servants present including Karna, Achilles, and Atalanta shrugging of all attacks. He meets one Ruler and retreats encounters the second Ruler and is curb-stomped in about five seconds.
Likewise Assassin of Black, True Name Jack the Ripper. None of the other Servants were fairing well against Jack especially once it went into her Reality Marble. Ruler defeats Jack easily breaks the Reality Marble and then is able to completely shrug of Atalanta's Attack and takes no noticeable damage when she later faces Atalanta's Noble Phantasm.
