Should I attempt to fix a Gamecube?

Our Gamecube stopped spinning. It makes a clicking noise like it starts to try to spin but then sounds like it’s blocked by something.

Was wondering if I should even bother investing in the special tool needed to remove those weird screws in the base.

If it’s the optical drive’s motor I don’t know if I can fix it…unless it’s simply a blockage (my young son crushed a cookie or 2 in the gamecube a cpl years ago…amazingly it continued to work this long!)
