Brother. That shit is broken. Throw it away before it hurts you.

Take it back to the gas station you bought it at and ask for a new one.

Get a better knife. I love gas station beater-knives. But that’s what they are. Pay $12, get $30 worth of use and you are good. I have some beaters that have proven themselves and get a place in the collection. But this one is pretty much done. Trying to fix that will cost more than a new one and you will regret spending the time on it.

Toss that in the trash and get you a 30$-70$ civivi, Kershaw, or gerber

You’re in a rough spot. The knife you have is literally not worth fixing. It CAN be fixed: buy a similar/same one for parts, swap out the pivots, call it good. The problem is it’s a cheap knife in all the bad ways: bad steel, bad construction (probably) bad lock. You can get a MUCH better Kershaw, Civivi, CJRB, Buck, etc starting at around $30.

Yeah, its a cheap knife, but no one here is answering your question.
If it doesn’t tighten, or loosens off easily, yeah probably not worth keeping around.

Knives like that are disposable. They work for a while, until they don’t. And then when they stop working, they are not at all worth the time or effort to fix them.
It’s the knife equivalent of asking how to wash a paper plate.

But a quality knife from a reputable dealer, not a gas station.

Have you tried tightening the pivot screw?
