the best way is to use a small round brush to clean it up. but if it is too bad it will need replaced. but make sure where bulb contacts socket is clean and free of dirt. you can even use a piece of a dry abrasive pad as used for scrubbing pots and pans.

How do you clean a corroded tail light socket on a 1998 Malibu?
I often tear off a small amount of plastic scouring pad, the type used in your kitchen to clean the pans, then I work that around inside the socket until the contacts are relatively free from rust and corrosion.
