No. You will just have two halves of one worm because if you cut it, the parts won't necessarily have all the whole organs and a brain that they need in order survive independently. If it does regrow, only the part with the brain can survive.

It does hurt the worm. For earthworms only the part containing the nerve center (it's too simple to be an actual brain) can survive, and only if the rest of the body isn't too badly damage. If it does survive the missing part will regrow, but it takes energy to do that.
