Just spinning the shaft free is all that is needed. You can lubricate the mini bearings if you like with any light thin oil.

Thanks!

Cleaned the IACV and it ran fine for a few days, then back to the random non-idle. I will be ordering a new IACV today.

It got progressively worse so by the time I replaced the IACV it wouldn't idle at all after it got up to operating temp. I replaced the IACV Tuesday and it has idle perfectly since.

Haha, I just came back to post. I also followed the instructions above and the idle issue was not solved, guess I'll be ordering an IACV too.

Finally got around to fixing this issue on my car. Ordered a reman IACV off eBay, it did not fit properly and one of the coolant lines came out on install. Returned that.
Bought a complete used intake manifold off eBay for $90, which is much less than an IACV itself sells for used. Works great. Now I also have a mockup manifold for my K.
