Let me make this simple... YOU WON'T!I would like to find a process that is repeatable without gnashing the blank first.
The "correct" way to make a worm gear is to use a hobber that is made for it. If you don't have the special machinery, you can do what you have already done. However, it will NOT be repeatable. The way to have any chance to make it repeatable is to gash the teeth partially, to give the makeshift hob a guide to work with.
Otherwise it will be hit-or-miss.... (mostly miss - as you have discovered)
