Quote the scripture that unequivocally states wicked humans are actually considered 'worth saving' by God.

The trivial worth God places on man does not necessarily amount to something worth saving.
ie; don't confuse your God rated WORTH with WORTH SAVING by God.

Everyone knows a nickel is worth more than a dime , but to some neither are worth one bending down
to retrieve from the sidewalk.

Collins/Webster/Oxford dictionaries:

MERIT = worth, value, warrant,deserve, entitled,credited, earned,
{Origin} - Middle English (originally in the sense ‘deserved reward or punishment’): via Old French from Latin meritum ‘due reward’,
from mereri ‘earn, deserve’.

WORTH = merit, value, deserve [to be valued or rated], deserving or worthy of; meriting:
{origin} - Old English weorþ "value, worthiness, merit,"

Hmmmm,,..So How can one be merited or credited with 'worth saving' when , saving by God
is only through his [un-merited] grace?

If you were valued or merited enough to be considered worth saving , then Gods grace would not be required.
