It seems to me that, if I'm playing only the hands that I should be playing, and the best I'm doing is taking down 6-9% of the total hands in a 10-handed game, then there is no way I could be winning.

Where do you get this idea? You will win the most pots if you play every hand and never fold. If you do this in a 10-handed game, you will win roughly 10% of the pots over the long term. But you don't want to do this! You want to play only those hands that have a good chance of being winners, not 72o hoping for a flop of 772. (As another poster said, you want to win the most money you can, not the most pots you can.)
I would think that any winning player at 10-handed small stakes limit MUST have a winning percentage significantly less than 10% of dealt hands. (If you play with weak-tight rocks who routinely fold to bluffs, then in principle it could be higher. But this is far from typical for small stakes.)
