I would not recommend it. WD-40 is not a contact cleaner.

I use Deoxit D100 L micro brush, been using it on my camper plugs before I had an EV. I clean with a cotton swab and 91% rubbing alcohol.

I have used (CRC I think) electronics cleaner on mine it is quick drying, sounds like it is the same or similar, if if you just spray it on the contacts, then it should not get on the paint anyway because of the plastic around the plug. I could have gotten it on there, but I don’t recall and I don’t think it would be a huge issue if you did.

You are fixing a problem that doesn't exist. I don't know if it would cause additional problems but I do know that doing nothing won't cause additional problems and it's cheaper.
