I have a little trick I use to fix or smooth most firearms. I have done this to essentially a damaged Ruger mkiii and brought it back to life, after 20,000 rounds, damaging the chamber with the firing pin, and replacing the springs. The gun is still accurate, I however had malfunctions for awhile even after rebuilding the bolt and recoil spring extractor claw etc. so for the last 3000 rounds or so, I basically take the gun down, and polish the internals and mating surfaces with liquid car wax. I don't let it dry, I just apply and buff in to any contact point but any point really in the gun , even the chamber for awhile I even scrubbed the bore with it, lol. I have no perceivable accuracy loss, and in the last 1000 rounds I have begun to experience almost No malfunctions, with the cheapest ammo I can find. The barrel also cleans up very lightly, essentially a few scrubs and shots of triflo and it's clean as new, as well as shiny. I took it out a few days ago and was hitting pieces of clay pigeon standing unsupported repeatedly around 30 yards. I can hit clay pigeons out to 80 fairly routinely. I have taken the Fnx .45 and given it a light treatment like this. I basically polished the feed ramp to a mirror like finish as well as polished the chamber lightly and polished the rifling once. I have never had any feed issuss in my Fnx.45, or my previous Fnp .45, however I had a friend that had a lemon Fnx 9 about 10 years ago or so, we never could get it to run right. I think the extractor on these guns can have a burr, I would take it apart and clean/polish lightly then reassemble. and the Face of the breach could use a good polishing, in fact the boys at Johnny Rowland polish the breach on these guns to a mirror finish when doing the 460 conversion. At this point you have nothing to lose, it really works, haven't harmed any of my few firearms I've done this too, I wouldn't do it to anodized finishes, or blueing of any kind. Nitrided barrels and finishes are very difficult to wear down, but also can be hard, so a light polishing could help. I also use this method to polish triggers up. Essentially coating them in polish dry firing them for 10-20 times then cleaning them and lightly oiling them. I took my 5946 from a 14 pound trigger to around a 7.5 pound trigger that felt like a 5 pound trigger. No issues, also did this with my mkiii trigger and have about a 2 pound trigger pull that feels as good as any 1911 trigger I've pulled. Has never went full auto or anything silly in 10,000 rounds since I did the work. If it does go goofy I'll just buy a new trigger and repolish lol hope that helps, I know when you get a lemon it really is dissapointing But it could be salvageable.
