It's something worth our while to consider. --> It's something worth while for us to consider. Yours is right, but I think the correction sounds more natural. It's something worth considering for us. --> It's something for us worth considering. (or It's something for us that is worth considering) Yours is right, but I think the correction sounds more natural. ________ All of them are correct. But I suggested what I think sounds a bit more natural.

This will sound formal, and if that's the purpose, then I'd suggest: "It's something worthy of our consideration." A few more thoughts: 1) If you've established elsewhere that it's more than just you making the decision, you can probably simplify it even further to: "It's something worthy of consideration." 2) If the context is more casual, more informal, then I'd suggest: "We'll consider it" or "We'll think about it."

To my ear (native English, USA), none of them sound quite right. To begin with, I would drop the "for us" because it must have been established somewhere else during this conversation or presentation who would be doing the thinking. I would say any of the following, whether formally or casually, in writing or in conversation: "It's something worth thinking about." "It's something worth considering." "It's something worthwhile to think about." "It's something worthwhile to consider." Note: If it were very formal writing, I would write all of the above examples with "It is something" instead of "It's something."

All of them are fine. What do you mean by "more natural"? The sentences are fine.
