Peter is a little rock, a stone, just as are all the saints. Only God is a Rock. Peter was never meant to be a god. My goodness, you thought I was arguing he was a GOD? Holy cow, I have to explain myself better.
Of course Peter is not a God. But if "only" God is a rock, why does Christ call Peter the Rock at all?

Peter is not called the Rock. Christ is referencing Peter's confession, not Peter. Every Christian must believe that Christ has come in the flesh, and the belief must come as a revelation from God. That is the sure foundation on which the church of believers are built
