Before sanding you might want to try to turn the bulb socket just enough (back off slightly from full turn) to get a fresh contact area. That should do the trick for a while.

All it needs are a few dabs of solder on the contacts. Go to radio shack and get yourself a soldering iron and some solder. It may even cost less than the bulb holder (socket) itself!
