Well, she got past phase 1 and went on to secure a deal with the EU. It's Parliament, not the EU who have failed to sign it off.
She could have done even better and achieved a very good deal, but she caved. We will see if the next PM can do better.

The only thing a new PM could change would be to make it a softer Brexit with a Customs Union & consequently FoM. The ERG would vote Nay, but chances are Labour would support it and thus have the majority needed.
The EU have already stated the WA is not up for negotiation. A few tweaks will not materially change the backstop arrangements.
