WD40 is fine with plastic, I've used it for years including on Dyson's flimsy plastic with no issues. I use it on everything to clean as well as oil and prevent corrosion.

I was afraid to use WD-40 on it, so I kept dropping in a bit of electric motor oil into it, spinning it and wiping out the muddy grime. Did that about 100 times.

Clock was fine, still is just had to get a new birdy for it
WD40 isn't much good on motor or brushroll bearings as it dries out when it gets hot and glues it up again. A silicone based lubricant is much better.
