Scrape the bore of the connector with a machinists 3-corner scraper.  Don't
have one?  Grind a used-up file into one.  Don't want to screw with that?
Use a pen knife instead.  Once done with the scraping, dip the connector in a
solution of baking soda and water.  Remove it from the bath once it stops
fizzing, dry it off and coat it with antioxidant electrical connection grease
such as No-Ox.
