In that case I doubt backlash compensation would be much use. As Muzzerboy has suggested have you tried to adjust the meshing of the worm and wheel to reduce the backlash to a minimum?
[On my Vertex dividing head it's impossible to get rid of backlash. The wheel must be slightly eccentric as trying to minimise the backlash at one point will mean it can lock solid at another]
