Get a wooden toothpick and snap it in two (unevenly is better). Then use a pointy bit to clear out all the dirt, dust and grime from your phones port. I had the same problem a few weeks ago with my phone, after a good 20 minutes of careful scraping my phone is fine now. Best of luck.
But be careful: do not press hard on the toothstick. It will splinter and then you will have a real problem getting the port clean. Source: my phone port :(
Bricked my first iPod back in the day using a sewing needle to fish lint out of the headphone jack. I must have nicked or bridged something inside because it started behaving so oddly as to be unusable before finally refusing to turn on at all.

Sewing needle, use the eye side to dig around, I cut wood and ends up with chips in the port all the time, it’s not a problem

Honestly I just use a metal sewing pin or something. Hasn’t caused any problems for me! Just gotta be gentle and not jam it.
Use the eye side instead of the pointy side
Can also remove dirt from the speaker recesses this way
If you’ve got a 3d printer there are various picks you can print to help too. This ones popular https://www.printables.com/model/1199608-usb-port-cleaner-remove-dust-dirt-2min-print/related
I recommend also taking a knife and peel it a bit so it is basically flat.
I tried this and had limited success. Then I just got a wireless charger and it’s fine now.
