According to those from which the name originates, it's "woo-ster-sure"
In uk, closest match
Is "Wor-ces-ter-shire" acceptable?
Worcester = Wooster
Worcestershire = Wooster-sure.
Though there is a particular joy in hearing someone try and pronounce it phonetically. Also, cider helps greatly in loosening the tongue and removing linguistic obstacles.
I would say "wusta-sh" with the sh sounding like the first part of "shush"
I don't know why English English has all these historic hangovers
Cholmondely = Chumly
Mainwaring = Mannering
Menzies=Mingus
herb=herb, with a "her" at the beginning, not "urb" as Americans strangely insist
Berkshire=bark-sh
Norwich=norrich
Birmingham=birmingum
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch yes that is a real place in Wales, no idea of pronunciation. Ask the Welsh.
