WD-40 is not a true lubricant, it’s a penetrating oil that dries out pretty quickly and if used as the only lubricant it will likely gum things up as it dries. OP wants a light machine oil, something like 3-in-1 (which you can find a big box home improvement stores) or most sewing stores will carry sewing machine oils. Personally I’d go with something like Starret 1620 or similar. Anything with a drip tip is likely going to be easier to apply in controlled amounts as well.
