The below assumes your black tank is completely empty, and that the black tank valve is fairly close to the drain connection.
I have successfully lubricated a sticky grey tank valve by spraying the valve with silicone. You can buy some small diameter rubber tubing at an auto parts store. Stick a plastic tube spray nozzle - as comes with a can of silicone spray - into the tube.
