I would never use something like WD-40 on a rubber pump head grommet.
However, here's an old fashioned, and very declasse trick that works well, and costs absolutely nothing. Spit in it. Spit is an excellent, non-harmful lube for things like pump heads. And the beauty of it is that we all have an unlimited supply.
