No.  Its not the motor.  Likely arm is stripped where
it mounts on the spline.  Very easy to fix.

Remove arm.  Use a scribe or some other fine metal
pointy object.  Scrape out the arm material in each
groove on the metal spline.  Its about 30-40 of them -
it goes quickly.  Re-attach arm and tighten down.
