I never had any fears about it and bought the pentax sticky lollipop cleaner and the eclipse wet wipes. Then it turns into a rabbit hole where you end up needing an illuminated loupe to really see what you're doing. You can pick up oil from the surround of the sensor and wipe it onto the glass or drag a piece of sharp dust across it.
Some days it went well, others it seemed to get worse not better! I would probably try it again if I had too but it's easier to get it done by a pro in a dust controlled environment with good lighting and tons of clean cleaning materials.
Some people recommend doing it in the bathroom having run a hot shower, it keeps the airborne dust down. The pentax thing is good but it didn't remove oil.
