The problem with contact lubricants is that they

be conductive, so if you get more than a tiny amount on, it's
game-over. There are lubricants out there that are designed for this
purpose (such as polyphenyl ethers), but they tend to be used for
connectors larger than the ones common in computers. Applying them to
connectors the size of which are common in computers would be very
tricky. Once you get them on there, though, they tend to be very
resistant to evaporation and migration.
Do you mean that I should throw out my can of GC Tunerlube?
