Blow the pivot out with canned air if you haven't already.
If you're taking it apart to clean and lube, just wipe the (hopefully caged) bearings down with a paper towel or lint-free cloth before you reassemble.
Rubbing alcohol during disassembly is probably fine, but I've never needed it and am not positive about that. Seems like overkill for lint in any case.

I have a compressor in my garage so I use that to blow it out. WD 40 to help clean the gunk out, blow it out again and oil the bearings. I have been following this procedure for my mini grip edc for 2 years now and it’s fall open/close with no play. Never been disassembled yet.
