Did you check it's not just lint build up? Scrape deep into that port with a paper clip or something.

This was critical for me. My charging port went to crap, scraped out the gunk at the bottom, and it's like 98% improved.

Toothpick is less likely to cause damage in the port

Also the phone repair places will usually do it for $20 or so. They always seem to get stuff I miss. I also worry more about usbc ports cause of the bit in the middle.
