Out of curiosity, I google.d Damn. I occasionally use regular WD40. Looks like I should be buying the lithium grease WD40 or similar product per my googling.

That's like 1/4th the price of a new one. I can see why you're trying to go that route. I'd consider paying garage door guys to inspect/ pick it up and install for you. What's the worst they should charge? Like $500 for that service? You'd still be saving a ton. Plus as others have already said, screwing around with the springs isn't safe, so you should be calling a pro in anyways.
With those savings, personally, I'd also consider paying the garage door guys to completely replace the tracks and rollers. Almost every time I see new garage doors installed, I always wonder why the rails weren't swapped out (dinged, dented, shaky slight rust on occasion etc.). It can't be more than a few hundred bucks, can it?
