I had a brand x ascent dropper that stated getting a bit sticky going up and down. In the end it fixed itself with a bit of time and some silicone spray.
But before it did I looked into stripping it down and servicing it and it didn’t look too hard. There are videos on YouTube.
Though I’ve no idea if that would help fix your issue.

Brand x ascent dropper post. Came used with a mountain bike I bought; it goes up and down, but when I sit on the saddle in the locked out position, it bounces, much like a suspension fork/front shock.
Googling around it seems the consensus is that it isn't user serviceable and it's off to landfill especially since I can't return it under warranty.

video of the squish in action. suggestions of what to do outside of buying a new product and throwing this one in the bin welcome.
