A trick I have used on male XLR connectors, and it would probably work
on others too, is to use a good old reliable wooden pencil with an
eraser on the end. Drill a hole in the eraser just big enough for the
male pin to be pushed into it with a bit of force. Push the pin in and
give the pencil a few turns, and the connector will look as good as
new. I haven't found a similar trick for female connectors.

I ran into this years ago it turned out to be the Plug and not the jack.
a simple fix is to wrap a piece of fine sandpaper (600+ grit) and wrap it
around the plug and twist.
Some plugs seem to have a slight film on them ant this removes it
