This is the worst of the 2 drawers. The other one can probably be fixed
with just glue.

That's basically the way those fit from new; you'll do more damage
messing with them than you'll fix. Leave 'em alone.

$0.20, imo, ymmv, etc., etc, etc., ...

If the drawer sides will disassemble easily, then just reglue and go on.
That one on the LHS was miscut initially by tracking wrong side of the
line w/ the sawcut.

As another noted, if this is pretty old and you can tell, reuse hide
glue so don't do anything irreversible.
