Its not worth it.
If You want to replace the stepper motor, You would have to readjust it
for the tracks beiing compatible with other drives.
It is impossible to do this without special measuring equipment
including a special disk to check the alignment of the tracks.

You should get Your drive replaced on warranty (it came with a warranty,
right?).
