Go to your local office supply store and buy a CD/DVD cleaning kit and use it on the SuperDrive. NEVER EVER blow air or anything else into your Mac or any other computer!!!!! If the cleaning kit does not work, then replace the SuperDrive by purchasing a USB external drive. You can find many, I am sure you will one that will suit your needs by navigating to Macsales.com. On my 2020 iMac I bought this one as I wanted some Blueray abilities:
