However if this was not the case, than it probably needs only proper cleaning (sometimes there are paint residuals and even small metal particles present inside) and re-greasing, and then mesh adjustment.
Very rarely you need to replace the worm, only if it was very damaged by mis-treatment
If you were here in Melbourne I would be willing to help you with this.. and I am sure there is someone in Canberra that may help as well :-)

Hi Mate
Its not balance, i have been through this 1000's times, i have had it balanced on a dime, and i have had it with the balance of slightly to mesh the gears, i still get the same. my polar alignement is pretty good, no apparent movement after 15 minutes, with a reticle at a magnification of around x75, i took a 25 minute exposure last night, with no balance issue, and no star trails at all, so my alignment must be pretty good, i am absolutely certain its a mechanical thing.
If anyone can help, i have a shipping box for the EQ head alone, obviously i will cover all shipping costs, and whatever fee you think is suitable
