Hi,
I dont really know about wormtea as havent used it yet (havent found a supplier in Europe yet...) I know beer works...but as you mentioned i dont think the orchid would appreciate it ! and i dont think you can leave it in the beer long enough to drown them!
If you are repotting you could try and take off all the medium and rincing the plant under a tap to "wash the slugs" away? you could also then leave the plants roots submerged in just water for ..? 1/2 hour or more to "drown" the remaining snails a - and/or depending on pot size put beer into a bottle top -whether metal or plastic depending on "space" you have in pot...
hope this helps, I have not had the problem yet... - Good Luck !! I would be interested to know the outcome!
