Default Fucked starter??

This morning i was leaving for work when I turned the car on I heard some grinding so I immediately turn the car off. I checked under the hood and didn't see anything. I tried to turn the car on again and it sounds like the starter is just spinning. Think I just ground off the teeth on the starter and replacing it should be good to go?
