Unable to run any command on mac terminal


I have changed by mistake the mode of /usr to 644 on my mac from terminal so now non of my process is accessible.

I can't use sudo and I am unable to find any way to login as root user so I will be able to change /usr's mode back to 777.

Please give me any suggestion

Here is the error it shows when I open new tab in terminal.

could not create a new process and open a pseudo-tty
