Girdling roots is it worth it for this tree?

Update. I cut some of the roots between #1 left to #9, pictures in the thread with numbers on Blue tape. Then I threw some mulch to cover the roots back up. There was some per-mature "leaf drop", but it is starting into fall. We'll have to wait til next spring to see the results.

Thanks to everyone who has helped with my challenge.

Cheers!
 
UPDATE - I removed 10% of binding roots last year. In the fall I will remove another 20%. Goal is to keep the tree for another 4 - 5 years, when I move. The first picture is this year. Second was from last year.
