Default CA glue in the torque rods

A friend I am helping build his PT-40 emailed me this message. And I need some input from RCU professionals:

When mounting the torque Rods I was very careful not to get any epoxy on them so they moved very freely. When gluing the fiberglass cloth on the wing center some ca got into the torque rods now they are stiff I have been working them trying to free them but still a little stiff and squeak when turned how important is this?

I was thinking of putting some oil down the hole but don’t know if this will affect the bond or damage the wood, my other idea was I saw this stuff called ca debonder maybe that will help if I pour some in the slot but don’t know if it will weaken the epoxy bond.
