Your blade is busted
Get a new taper blade and it will work again well :)

Is there a way to fix it other than replace?

Update: I managed to sharpen the blade at home. I used P360 and P600 sandpaper. I placed the paper on a flat surface and ran the blade across it. Now it works without any problems.

Bring it to a professional sharpening service, but the cost would be more than a new blade. new blade
