The only reason Tony was able to grab the stones this time around was because he designed the new gauntlet, so he was able to do a nanotech steal. He had no such control over Thanos' original gauntlet

After thinking about it I guess I realized that about the gauntlet. They didn't make it obvious in any way (unless I missed a shot of a schematic of it), but that's something we can just assume I guess. Makes sense as a failsafe.
