I'd still be wary of lithium grease. It may work for awhile, but may eventually dry up and create problems later. I'd favor a very light oil that will allow the laser assembly to run smoothly with a minimum of error correction. First clean any residue on the rails with a solvent or alcohol then lightly apply the lubricant with a Q-Tip. After applying the lubricant it helps to put in a disk with 75-80 mins. of music on it and track it from beginning to end a few times to distribute the lubricant the length of the rails.
