Stylus stuck in groove


Has anybody come up with a technique for dealing with the annoyance of a stylus stuck in a groove, even on an immaculately clean record?  I used to in my “yute” examine the record under a light and pick the offending speck out with a toothpick.  My eyes aren’t that good anymore.  I try washing or even soaking the offending record using the VIP cleaning machine mostly to no avail.  How does it even happen?
One day the disc is perfectly clean and next the sticking occurs.
 It’s a mystery.

I fail to see what’s so “strange” about seeking help with a common problem in playing records. The question is (which some have answered) how do you deal with stuck or skipping records that have been ALREADY cleaned?
Thank you to those who took the question seriously.
The only guess I have is it might be the sleeves.
Unless it’s audio gremlins.
Not the ceiling.
