Usually the best way to fix a misbehaving cassette is by buying a new one and use the housing of it, replacing the two rolls of tape.

The cassette itself is held together by five very small Philips screws accessible on the bottom side (a very small flat screwdriver can also wok though) You have to remove the sticky title strip from the edge as well, if you had one. When the screws are removed turn the box right side up and lift off the top. pay attention of the locking arm for tape cover mechanism. it has some sort of spring, that easily falls off. Carefully change the pair of rolls with your originals. Leave some extra tape loose. it can be tighten up when the rolls are in place by turning the rolls against the ratchet in the middle. When replacing the cover hold the back portion of the tape cover off by holding the counter piece on the top. Usually it has an arrow molded into it.

Frequently, some mechanical tightness can be sold simply slightly loosening the screws that hold the box together.

How do you remove videocassette from unresponsive RCA505 Videocassette Recorder?

Remove the deck from its case or just lift open the top. Lift the tape out of the machine without twisting it. It is best to use white cotton gloves to keep from touching the tape with your fingers. Ease the cassette and the tape out of the deck slowly. The machines dust cover door will try to close on the tape during this step, keep it open or it will close on the tape. Then hold the cassette up on end and using your fingers at the bottom of the cassette turn the reel on top slowly to retract the tape back into the cassette. If the cassette has a metal door, prop it open.
