Thusly, it was worth it to make the Ring since Gil-galad was indeed destroyed. I don't think that the thought ever entered Sauron's mind that his enemies would seek to use the Ring to destroy him, since it corrupted all who came near it. That was his main weakness, as we find out from Gandalf, and the only reason that seemingly harebrained scheme of sending Frodo and Sam into Mordor by themselves and distracting Sauron with Aragorn.
