Diverter valve stem leaking

Is this fixable without replacing the entire valve assembly?

Could this be cleaned up and refitted or is there some soft part that's likely knackered?

Imo, I would replace

The valve stem looks clean along the sealing section (and was also quite a snug fit) which makes we wonder if the leak isnt between the metal stem guide and the plastic housing.

Would vinegar be ok to try and clean or does that risk further corrosion or rubber swelling?
