Is there a method to de-burr a PL-259 socket? I have a A/B splitter with one port super-duper tight. (The splitter is sealed up good, but I may investigate being able to replace the socket.
female N connector wont accept pl259 center pin unless forced and most likely broken. considerable size difference of center pinsAre you sure it's a UHF connector (PL-259, SO-239) and not an N connector? The pin on a UHF male plug will appear to be very tight in a female N connector.
This, in fact, can be a common problem in agencies where both types of connectors are used. The male UHF will start on a female N and, since the threads are similar, the UHF can be easily tightened down on the N. This totally destroys the N female, of course, resulting in an expensive fix.female N connector wont accept pl259 center pin unless forced and most likely broken. considerable size difference of center pins
Would dialectic grease insulate the surfaces from one another? Is there a conductive "electric" grease?Would a (very) small amount of dielectric grease help?

Now that’s an odd size dieYou can sometimes find a 5/98-24 die on Ebay cheap.

5/98 ths of an inch? That'd be about 0.051 of an inch. I think you meant 5/8 of an inch (0.625 of an inch).Not really, its the same size as the threads on many RF connectors, microphone stands and lots of other doo dahs.
