What shall I do? The lens only costed me 40 $ or so as it has a tiny
scratch on the front element. Any chance to open and clean it? Don't
think I will send it to a CLA because of the low worth.
Any helpful comments are welcome.

Bernd,
I have never understood the logic of not spending any money on an
item that you have already saved money on. People who buy a used car
expect to spend money to fix things. It is still cheaper than new.
If you are asking for advice, you probably do not have any experience
and may damage the lens doing it yourself. Even if you only paid $40
for it the lens is still a precision optical device. Any other used
replacement for it is likely to also need a CLA. Why not give it to
someone who knows what they are doing and get a professional job on
it so that you can enjoy it for years to come? Why wonder whether the
last funny looking photo you took was the result of your inexpert
reassembly.
If you had bought the lens at full price when it was new and it now
needed a CLA after years of service you probably would not hesitate
to get a CLA. What is the difference?
