「For what it's worth」というフレーズは、何かを言う際にその情報や意見があまり重要ではないことを示す表現です。つまり、相手に対して「これはあまり重要ではないかもしれませんが、一応言っておきますね」というニュアンスを持っています。
例えば、友達が新しい映画を勧めてきたときに、「For what it's worth, その映画は私はあまり面白くなかったよ」と言うことができます。この場合、相手に対して「私の意見はあまり重要ではないかもしれませんが、一応言っておきますね」という意味になります。
また、会議で自分の意見を述べる際に、「For what it's worth, 私はこのプロジェクトを成功させるためには新しいアプローチが必要だと思います」と言うこともできます。この場合も、自分の意見があまり重要ではないかもしれないが、一応述べておくというニュアンスが含まれています。
「For what it's worth」は、自分の意見や情報が相手にとってどれだけ重要かはわからないが、一応伝えておくという意味を持つフレーズです。使い方には注意が必要ですが、適切に使うことで円滑なコミュニケーションが図れる表現です。

let me give you an example:
You just lost a football competition and your best friend tells you:
For what it's worth, I think you played better than the other team.
It's a way to say: I know this might not be enough to make you happy, but I think you played better than the other team. It's used to comfort someone
