I had a similar problem over a year ago.
I used contact cleaner and sprayed it into any place I could find on the switch you could get cleaner into it including down the shaft. Then ran the switch through every possible position and did it all a 2nd time.
After all of that, shake it to get out as much excess cleaner you can, then let it sit for a few minutes to evaporate. In any case, even if the cleaner is still wet, it wont be a problem.

Do not try to pull the switch apart, you will end up replacing it

I have had no problems since for over a year. You can also use TUNER cleaner instead of CONTACT cleaner. the big difference is TUNER cleaner has a lubricant in it as well
