@larryi It's not possibility -- it's proven reality! moreover, using it consistently for LONG time can and will make your stylus UNUSABLE.
my main advice is NOT to listen to any dumb advice especially those advised using moongel!
moongel is ADHESIVE by nature and I often wonder how and who advised to using them !
assuming that moongel is there on stylus surface, the remedy should be very careful cleaning under jeweler's portable magnifier with isopropyl alcohol 92% to be applied locally to the stylus only making sure that it does NOT reach cantilever suspension. it's already jeopardizing integrity of stylus rubber mount(nothing you can do to prevent), but that's a move OP has to make to actually safe stylus/needle life.
suggestions to consult with Soundsmith or other cartridge repair facilities is also good approach (mentioning moongel is self-evident in this case). they possibly can provide you with professional cleaning and after that, stop being crazy audiophile and start being reasonable.
