#1. Demons aren't real.
#2. Therefore, by extension, the answer is no.
#3. If you believe in demons, then just look at the history of people trying to worship/use/gain advantage from working with demons. They are tricksters are manipulators, so even if 'they' tell you that you'll get powers, they are lying to you.
#4. If demons are talking to you - seek help from professionals; not people on ATS internet forums.

The 72 Solomonic Demons
List of demons in the Ars Goetia
Solomon was said to have had control over these demons, and they are the ones who originally built the First Temple, and mined all the gold for the temple in Africa, and some say even in South America. Ancient gold mines can be found in both. I once read that these demons, for lack of a better word, are a part of our original Spirit, they are us, in other words. It was Priests and Scribes of the Church that named they, and gave them a hierarchy, and assigned a military order to them, much like the same thing they did with the Angels, who could be made of the same cloth as Demons.
You, friend, claim they are not real, then warn against listening to them, so which is it? I have a working relationship with my inner demons, and do not need to call them out in a High Magick Ritual, but this can be accomplished, and deals can be struck, I believe. We are inter-dimensional beings, and are not at this time really knowledgeable about the other "selves" that exist in other dimensions. This is coming, though, the dimensions are crossing, and people all over the word are reporting strange, supernatural events and sightings. For one who has deeply studied into the Occult Knowledge, I too would warn against delving into areas not well suited for the weak of mind and Spirit, and the practitioner not well versed in the techniques and preparations, and the correct rituals and license to depart necessary for dealing with such forbidden things in nature.

Your iq is innate. So you aren't increasing yours either.
Can worshipping demons get you powers? Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on you. Depends on the entity. There are human spirits that have been around for thousands of years that have been worshipped to such an extent that they've gained powers. And they can bestow some things on their worshippers.
As far as demons, what kind? Christian, Islamic, Jewish what? The ones that predate all religion and aren't beholden to it's charms?

Leave the religion out of this.
Entities beyond our understanding DO EXIST, but the bible has absolutely no understanding either.
It's a 2000 year old story book, it has nothing on the unexplained.
It's a subjective experience, the bible knows nothing about this.
All the bible does it TRY to explain these things, and very poorly at that. Which makes sense, since it's a 2000 year old shallow perspective.

"Leave the religion out of this."...Ummmm...No. The Holy Bible was written by men filled with the fire of God, and contains the wisdom, experiences, and examples of God. God made Demons. This thread is about Demons. You can call it a fairy tale all you want and say its full of nothing and lacking explanations...that just makes is very apparent you have not read it, or have read it and didnt learn anything. If you want to talk about fairy tales go start a Hansel and Gretel thread.
A young man in Thailand had heard a missionary witness to his older sister, but he did not express interest. He was involved in spiritism. Then one day he picked up a Bible, opened it at random, and read 1 Peter 2:9, where it says that God called his people “out of darkness into his wonderful light.” This scripture puzzled him, and he began thinking of the missionary. The very next day, she was at his door. When he told her that he had wanted her to visit, she replied that the angels had probably directed her. Then, to his utter amazement, before he said anything about the scripture he had read, she opened her Bible and read the very same text. He was so surprised that he cried. He agreed to a Bible study, which the sister turned over to an elder. However, the young man’s involvement with the demons made it difficult for him. Beset by financial and other problems, he had made a “contract” with a spirit to the effect that if he allowed it to dwell in him, it would help him and provide for him. As a result, he had been able to build up a business without much effort and had come to own a factory in which he employed many workers. He readily recognized that there are wicked spirits and realized that these spirits are powerful, but he felt gratitude to the spirit that he viewed as “benevolent.” He attended some meetings, but the demons prevented him from grasping and retaining what he heard there. Then the night before an assembly, he had what he described as a life-and-death struggle with the demon for whom he had been a medium. The young man gained the upper hand, but after that he slowly but surely lost all the material advantages he had received from the demon. As he put his trust in Jehovah, however, God provided for him—not the excessive wealth he had before, but everything he really needed. (1 Tim. 6:8, 9) He now serves happily as an auxiliary pioneer.
