I do not worship the KJV; we worship the Lord God. Nonetheless, I do have a high regard for the word of the Lord even as the Lord Himself does. In Psalm 138:2 the Bible says: "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." I do not think one could draw from this that God worships His word, but He does honor it above His own name. Even modern versions, such as the RSV, which change this passage recognize that the Hebrew reads just as it is translated in the KJV (see RSV footnote). Again, because of the honor and respect the Lord gives to His word, this is an issue of preservation.
You keep leaping from high regard for God's word to some idea of utterly perfect preservation of every nuance; there is no support for this. It's a man-made doctrine found nowhere in the Bible, and which I have found no evidence for predating the 1700's or so; certainly, when the KJV was produced, no one believed this.
