I think I answered your question already. I would deem him worthy of worship if he was sheer absolute perfection and the way you described him in your hypothetical, was more like an abusive tyrant.
But what if it was part of a bigger plan from his point of view? Ie theists are always saying when anything goes wrong 'God works in mysterious ways'... so why not have the same confidence in this case that it was part of a bigger plan?
