I gather you're talking about one of these

Buy some corundum in a fairly coarse grit, Mix into nail polish or other paint and coat one side of each clamp mating surface. Allow to cure and you've bought yourself another few years.

BTW- new ones are a few bucks and if you're lucky will come with the 1/8" thick curled insert for the 5/8" seat pin.
