Power button not working easily. How to fix?

When I try to use the power-button, it is often not working and most of the time only with a lot of force.

Can someone add a tutorial how to unmount the button and at best how to fix the issue. I'm afraid this show-stopper button might ruin the experience soon.

Thanks in advance.

There is a teardown video, I'd suggest cleaning it but isn't it still under warranty? And too new to probably need that yet? Canned air?
