It’d gotten bad enough that I couldn’t reliably transfer data over usb. Now the cable fits snugly again

I just used a small sewing needle to pry out the lint. I tried using a toothpick at first, but it was too big to reach the bottom.

    The pins are flat, a sewing needle is tapered so you’d have to go in at a steep angle and be particularly aggressive to get under them and lift / bend them. It’s actually the ideal tool for this purpose.
