You could have 2 worm gears side by side turning in opposite directions and
have a bar below that which pushes the string against one or the other in
turn. I looked at this for my crane spooler, but couldn't get it to work
neatly because of the high tension in the string.
I found that the thicker the string, the better it winds by itself, so it
may be worth trying something thicker.
