The best way to tackle worms is with turrets, my main to big worm killing strats have a low & high tech version.

Low Tech - Requires gun turrets:
Ideally you want piercing rounds and some damage upgrades, but with just turrets this strategy can work. What you do is craft a stack or two of repair packs, take several stacks of extra ammo, and at least 1 gun turret. Approach the worm until it rises up, but not yet attacking. Place the turret in range of the big worm within range of its firing & quickly load up ammo. Grab the repair pack in your "hand" and alternative repairing the turret and killing spawning biters, free time / ammo can be spent on the worm helping the turret.

High Tech - Laser turrets (Full turret creep)
Place laser turrets & keep them repaired, pretty simple.

Another good way is poison capsules, do a quick run in toss a couple and it should kill them while you handle biters & eating fish.

Whichever comes into their aggression range first.

Yeah definitely don't forget poison, it is quite effective against worms and even weaker biters/splitters because they stack. So throwing down will stack all their damage. :D
