Why is my disc drive slow sometimes

Hello. Could someone can help me out? I had my ps5 for about a month and noticed that my bluray drive is slowing. It wasnt much slower until recently where disc sometimes gets stuck halfway in and then louder sound comes from drive and it almost feels like it force inserts it in. I found a fix but it didn't last long maybe day or 2. I blowed really hard and the drive went back to normal speed but it isnt permament. Q tip and alcohol like on ps4 drive didnt hold aswell. Something is definitively wrong with rollers perhaps they get dirty fast or idk. Anyone had same issue or similar one and is there a way of fixing it easy pls let me know? I'm under warranty so I don't want open it up but I dont want to send it to service either. So if there is a easy fix pls lemme know. Its a really frustrating thing…

I'd even say gears are fine its probably the rollers that get dirty fast from somewhere as only solution is to blow using q tip and alc. Disc is being read either way when it goes slow or normal.

Yeah gears are definitively fine and disc is read either way. I managed to solve problem by using kitchen knife to scratch dirt of rollers that got stuck on them and used q tip to clean any remaining dirt however im keepimg my ps5 horizontal as it work rly smooth that way if i put it vertical slow disc read might happen but it really rare currently mostly when i get a new game then it happens once or twice thats it. Horizontal never so thats the way il keep it
