So, I have a can of this stuff Blaster silicone spray lubricant.
Woud this be okay to try?? Or would this make matters worse?

DO NOT use any aerosol lubricant like the silicon spray you mention, WD 40 or even canned air. This could cause the residual gas to ignite and result in damage to the shredder and possibly personal injury. Use a liquid lubricant designed for shredders which can be found at any office supply or department store.
