I'm running Debian/Bookworm. When I plug a USB stick in, I get the dmesg output below and the device also shows in lsblk as:
sdm 8:192 1 0B 0 disk
Here's the dmesg output:
root@transponder:~#dmesg

When I try to partition it, here's what I get:
root@transponder:~# gdisk /dev/sdm
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.8
Problem opening /dev/sdm for reading! Error is 123.
It also doesn't show up in gparted. Is the stick toast or can it be rehabilitated?
