A relay contact burnishing tool is what is the least "aggressive" for those types of open conacts,
as compared to a small needle file.
I use one with a SMALL drop of De-Ox-It contact cleaner on it. Lightly push the contact leaves
together on the tool and 3-4 in and outs with the contacts held closed usually does the trick.

YMMV
