First thing I'd do is strip the sizing die then clean it out with naptha or laquer thinner to get rid of everything inside of it. Next, dry it good with lint free cotton so there's nothing left inside except bare steel. Finally, wrap a cloth around somthing that'll fit inside, coat it with a thin layer of STP then apply it to the die's inside. This should fix your problem.

Note the fired cases need to be cleaned well before they're resized else the debris on them will gall the die and make them hard to size down. Do you tumble or vibrate your fired cases in some sort of media first?

I've used STP cut 30% to 40% with Hoppe's No. 9 bore cleaner and that makes a great case lube.
