My android phone started doing this recently (S10+) and I can't fix it. Tried gentle cleaning with a q-tip, thin metal etc.
Work around.
Locate and install the Assistive Volume Button app by mCreations.
Grant permissions.
Place it next to your broken volume button on screen by drag and drop (you can also adjust the opacity, size and colour on the free version).
Then under button settings enable System Volume Bar.
Now touching the app buttons opens all 4 sliders on your system volume controls just like tapping the 4 dots on volume up/down would.

All phones appear to be one piece, but haven't seen any that can't be disassembled. I left my advice down below (SputnikBites) for how I handled the same with my power button. You just have to be patient & try different things. May take hours of fiddling until you notice progress because there's likely built up gunk to get it back out of. Just be careful with any of the steps. Once the volume button is out, the safe mode issue will be a simple fix. I would not start disassembling the phone unless you have some practice and understanding of such. You can easily ruin it. Check the Google/Facebook/Yelp reviews for businesses that will do it. Nowadays it's so much cheaper for simple repairs. It used to cost so much that it cost the same to replace the phone. A lot of things are only $50-$100 now. My friend went to Verizon because his camera lens cracked. They said he had to replace the one-year-old phone ($1000). I said BS and looked on Google. An hour & $50 and it was all good as new, and that included parts!
