Sorry to say this since it's easy to forget frost in the US in June, but...
I'm not imtimately familiar with starters, but it sounds like yours is shot. They can be rebuilt, but not at a cost that would be worth it to someone who is not in the business. Best thing to do is play with it on your desk in your free time and see what you can learn, but don't put it back on. If it's tearing off teeth, you could be damaging your flywheel.
If you can do 'creative parking', you can clutch start it. My brother, whose only connection to 'brick' is his head, drive an old VW beetle for a year without a starter; I'd bet you can do it for a fortnight.
