I don't think there is any way to avoid this problem.  Perhaps there
exist some kind of synthetic grease, which can be used to reduce the
friction?  If so, this could be the solution to your problem.  But keep
in mind that the grease will be quite messy, and you need to make sure
that it is not a kind of grease which ruins the ABS material out of
which LEGO bricks are made.  Most kinds of grease are probably
incopatible with plastic materials.

Lubrication has been discussed quite a bit before. Be sure to check out
"lubrication" under the Popular Subjects and FAQ section on the Technic
