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.
I'm sort of hesitant to post this, but having mostly 'pre-loved or -hated' LPs, the only way to get them listenable is by the "cold glue method" (can Google it too), this followed by the quite primitive 'Spin Clean' and using their fluid, just to take care of the static charge that follows the peeling off of the dried cold glue film. 
It is the the best and most effective method I found out to date, and having by now used it hundreds of times. 
I have tried a Nitty Gritty, a very beautiful, almost 'sexy' German made 'Hannel' with roller brushes and powerful suction. 
Nothing works as well as the 'cold glue method' - and it is *quite* to boot!

The trick is, to get the best cold glue for the job, definately none of that hyper-aggressive stuff for professional bonding of high resin contend exotic timber! This will etch the vinyl and be VERY hard to peel off once set!!! 

Also, no messing by spreading with your fingers as once shown on some Michael Fremmer video!!! 

One needs to learn the use of a softish silicone food spatula to evenly spread the cold glue on a 45rpm spinning tt (for all 33 rpm LPs), and learn to dose the glue application by best, a tiny nossle using the least workable amount, on a sufficiently torquey turntable. This with a record centre clamp to prevent the record's slipping on the turn table platter. 

This may sound lengthy but after a short learning time it's a pretty swift and NON-MESSY! process. 
Lastly, this process can be repeated many times with NO damage to the vinyl, and usually brings additional improvements for extremely difficult cases of age old baked in dirt particles. 
Nothing else I ever tried worked at all as well. 
Seriously! 👍

1+ Justmetoo You learn something everyday. Plain Tightbond (not Tightbond 3!) will not stick to vinyl. It will peel right off taking everything with it. I'm going to try it on an old record, but I only have Tightbond 3 in the shop which polymerizes and might stick so I will have to go out and get some plain Tightbond. I think Elmer's will work also. Brilliant!
You guys must have really good eyes. On my LPs that have such glitches, I cannot recall ever having been able to see the problem with my naked eye. Nor did I bother to pursue the issue much further. It only affects a few of my favorite LPs, is usually resistant to any sort of cleaning, and I merely learn to avoid that particular band in the LP or to expect the momentary annoyance when it occurs. In the course of amassing my collection, I’ve purchased a lot of used LPs, but my criteria for purchase are very very stringent. IF close examination under a very bright light with glasses reveals any sort of defect, I don’t buy. But I think an occasional needle skip is to be expected when playing a used LP, where you do not know the history. In one case I cleaned the offending LP twice, once with my VPIHW 17 RCM, and then again with an ultrasonic cleaner. Neither treatment had any effect on the problem, and I concluded that it is a defect in the vinyl, not a piece of dirt or dust that I could dislodge by cleaning. One tip to the OP, after you clean your LPs with a good record cleaning machine it is wise then to replace the envelope that the LP sets in. As you probably know you can buy them by the stack and there are any number of good quality options from several trusted sources. Otherwise, you are sticking a clean LP into a potentially dirty envelope, and that can negate the effects of cleaning.
@lewm The offending particles can be hard to spot. Turn off your motor and spin the platter manually until you hear the pop from whatever is gunking up the record. That's how I usually find it. It's usually something hard and crystalline that you can pry out of the groove if you're careful. Cleaning typically won't get it out.
