Any benefit to suing employer for timecard manipulation?

My manager has repeatedly either removed overtime hours entirely or inserted a break so it doesn't count as overtime on days where he asked me to work overtime. This is at a small restaurant business that uses Toast, his changing of my time is beyond his or the owner's ability to hide. My question is, since this is a matter of a few hundred dollars or less, is it worth pursuing in any legal fashion? Is there a possibility I could come out with more damages? It is definitely stressful to have to go back and check your paycheck and very dismaying to see that you've essentially worked for free when you thought you were getting time and a half.
