30 amp plug hot and started to melt

Is there enough room in the plug tp accept 8-gauge x #8 spade terminals? This stops the strand unfurlimg problem forever. I adopted these terminals 40 years ago. Then I could purchase whatever plug or receptacle. A zot of spray undercoating covering it protects for years. Same with gooshing some dielectric grease through slots or onto plug blades.

But all that won't do a danged thing for a bad park recrptacle :(

Dielectric grease does not improve conductivity. It is used to prevent corrosion. It won't improve the condition of the contacts and actually has insulating properties, so it may actually degrade the connection. "Gooshing" it into the slots of the park's receptacles will just make them greasy.
