It’s possible to unbrick, but it’s gonna be tedious.

Take a read here > How Do I Fix My Bricked Android Phone?


First of all, lets get something straight. Most people use the term "bricked" improperly. A bricked phone means one thing: your phone won't turn on in any way, shape or form, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. It is, for all intents and purposes, as useful as a brick. A phone stuck in a boot loop is not bricked, nor is a phone that boots straight into recovery mode. These are things you can usually fix, and they're a lot more common than a truly bricked phone. If your phone is actually bricked, you won't be able to fix it yourself (but there are things you can do—see the end of this article). For those other problems, you have a few options.

Answer is yes.
Rooting is relatively easy for popular models.
Xda is a good forum with step by step guides.

While benefits can be seen - smoother frames / less bloat / possibilities of overclocking, rooting and flashing a custom rom can cause instability if not done correctly.
