Well, first keep in mind that it's possible to sue for almost anything. But beyond that all-encompassing possibility, yes, it is possible to sue and potentially win a case in which the player violated the TOS or EULA while playing the game and maliciously caused harm to the service.

Would it be worth it? I cannot imagine it would be. Even small claims court isn't worth the time and loss of focus from the operation of your business. The money is far better spent on prevention. Create rules designed to permit whatever level of grief play that you find acceptable and then enforce them. Find the troublemakers, and delete/ban them ruthlessly. (Note that grief activity doesn't necessarily equal troublemaking. It may be within the scope of the gameplay.)
