Stiles got a power, kind of, in season 3b anyway, and look how well that turned out.

This is going to sound super corny, but being human kind of is his power. He was able to help Scott, Kira, and Malia during the quarantine because he was human. He wasn't on the deadpool (not legitimately) so he could do detective work without feeling threatened.

And I also feel that Stiles is following in his father's footsteps as well as Deaton's. He does whatever he can to help his friends, uses his knowledge and sleuthing skills to get the upper hand on their adversaries (Stiles almost ALWAYS figures it out, which Lydia pointed out at the beginning of 3b when she's stuck in the coyote trap), and he can interact with things that the supernaturals cannot, like when he laid the mountain ash trap in season 2.

Stiles is already awesome being human. It gives him distinct advantages, and he displays the power and courage that just a normal human being can have. He doesn't have claws or fangs, but he was willing to take a bullet to the head to save his friends. He's a keeper just the way he is :) SOMEONE has to be human.
