If bearing has dirt or grit inside and is not a rebuildable type, then it is compromised. While performance may be able to be improved it will not be the same. It's not worth the risk of an expensive motor to be cheap and not just replace the bearing.

As these bearings are, it would take a lot to get anything inside that would cause its performance to suffer, but when it does, it's over.
