It's tiring to tell libs that its actually CPC instead of CCP.

CCP = Chinese China Party (???)
CPC = Chinese Party of China (correct)

I'm literally going to drop kick someone who gets it wrong!!!

Thoughts? Is it worthwhile to correct people on this?

It's worthwhile correcting people on it purely because CCP and CPC indicate who is a reasonable human who will talk about the country honestly and take on new information compared to who is currently completely consumed by propaganda.

I correct people on it and if they continue to say CCP I switch to berating them and making the interaction as miserable as possible. If they switch to CPC I know I'm talking to a person that will take on new information I give them.
