Wd 40 will just make it worse over time as it will attract dust etc..
depending on the brand you can just replace the bearing or the wheel/bearing combo. If you're more adventurous just grease the bearing itself. Most of them look similar to roller blade bearings: http://www.livestrong.com/article/18...rblade-wheels/
