Help with phrases

Hi,

does the phrase "for what it's worth" mean exactly the same as "just for the record" or "by the way"?

For example:
Just for the record / For what it's worth, Jim is going to the party as well.

Do both phrases work here?

Thank you in advance!

No. For what it's worth = if the information is of value to you or to the discussion. Just for the record = only in order to have the information uttered/presented/included.
