Alt worm is loose against the worm wheel and has mashed some of the teeth off (the crunching).

Look closely at the way the worm is mounted - it’s in an eccentric sleeve. Using needle nose pliers or similar you can rotate this, pushing the worm tighter against the worm wheel.

If the crunching was bad it may be permanently damaged.
