A true deity is a deity with or without anyone's belief in them. The only reason for what we know as a "deity" to require stupid rules like "worship me, hold no others above me" would have been to force moronic cave dwellers to try to learn to act in a social civilized manner by fearing retribution if they didn't, the only possible other reason is because they aren't actually a deity and simply another mortal sentient on a power trip because it feels good to be adored and have people terrified at your feet. There really isn't an inbetween, true immortals would find constant worship really fucking boring, so it would need to serve a purpose, the only creatures that would really enjoy being worshipped are mortals that will never live long enough to see how tedious and fucking boring it becomes "oh look, here comes jimothy again with a list of things he did bad, a pile of exotic fruit, and a jingle he made... I hope the jingles funny, I am so damn bored, and I've had all the fruit so many times it's not exotic, just common... Or maybe that's his son danjemin.. Hard to tell, the names changes but the faces..." True immortals would rejoice in the individuals true uniqueness because it would be one of the few things that is mostly fresh per person, they wouldn't care for the most part about things you did wrong because fucking everyone does bad shit, just be your best unique self, and try to do good, cuz everything else is just a fuckin repeating cycle.

I've been eating potatoes for my whole life and I still haven't got bored of them. Maybe worship is like potatoes.

This. Or perhaps it works like the ori in Stargate, where the worship and belief in their divinity is a source of power. The more people worship them, the more powerful they are (compared to the "atheist" gods they split with some millennia ago).

Or maybe it's like sex. People don't usually get bored of sex.
