From the Nanacide FAQ (http://www.nanacide.com/wahelp/faq.php#R4) (posted in a sticky thread):
R4. I get a "No CD" Error
You probably tried to patch WA when it did not need patching. Uninstall the game and follow the installation tutorial more carefully.
Reinstall the game, and use this patch/update installer (http://worms.thecybershadow.net/files/WA_update-3.6.26.5_Beta_Installer.exe) instead.

Probably.
You could try creating a CD image. Preferably use a RW drive, as those normally have better error correction.
There are also CD reparation kits, that basically fill up all the scratches with some polycarbonate-based glue.
I've seen a video on youtube where someone did that with ordinary white toothpaste. :/

Doesn't anybody look after their CDs?
If you cannot repair your CD, then yes, you will need to buy a new copy. It's fairly cheap though.
