If there's a gas leak leak then it's time to be pragmatic. If ANY Gas Safe Registered Engineers were to look at this and NOT sort it then there is only 1 course of action available, make safe. Probably disconnect and cap off the supply to the cooker.

You need to have this looked at now I'm afraid. Be safe.

Sadly I live too far away from you to pop around. It could be as simple as strip, grease and reassemble as you have suggested.

as you say if its a tap that needs grease you need a gsr to fix and test for you many old models required grease on the controls to achieve gas soundness youll need to find an older engineer with the experience to work on it
