It seems very much like when I spin it not very quickly it works
fine. It's when I try for a quick change in volume that it tends to
slip. I suppose it will only get worse over time. I presume there's
no chance of rejuvenating the current encoder, eh?

If it's bad contacts, moving it a lot may fix that. Otherwise you
need to blow tuner cleaner spray into it (not WD40). But no
guarantees.

No guarantees indeed. For all the labor involved just to get to the thing,
it's best just to replace it. I've had spotty luck cleaning these things,
even using a fiberglass brush and Caig De-Oxit. The control is pretty well
sealed, so you can't just spray stuff in there, you have to take it apart.
Given all that, the best option is certainly just to replace the part.
