it's worth the try vs it's worth a try

The phrases are correct, but they would be used in separate contexts. 'It's worth a try' is the more common and idiomatic expression, meaning that something is worth attempting or testing. On the other hand, 'it's worth the try' is less common and may sound awkward to native speakers. It could be interpreted as referring to a specific attempt that has already been made.
