Home button stuck on iPod Touch. What are the ways in fixing this problem?

I've had my ipod touch from Nov 2011, and just recently I have noticed the ipod touch home button is getting stuck and that I have to push the button hard for it to work. Sometimes it works with a slight touch. I put assistive touch on so that if i have any problems I can get an easy fix out of it. But having the assistive touch is really annoying because the normal button is not working and it gets in the way of what I'm doing. Is there any way on fixing this problem other than using the assistive touch.

I've used tips on the following video which seem to work. But its only a temporary fix to my problem.
