Reply to comment by reddituserwhoreddit in LPT: Don’t buy a new phone charger the moment your phone doesn’t charge anymore. 99% of the time, it’s a clogged charging port. Take it to any iPhone or android repair shop and they’ll clean the lint and gunk out for free. Charges brand new even with janky chargers. by FappinPlatypus

Piggybacking on this: you can buy gentle cleaning kits with special putty and swabs exactly for this job. No pointy things required.

Although buying a port cover would help prevent the problem in the first place.
