Is it just a matter of cleaning it or will I have to replace it? Can I add a pot to the headphone jack's ground to limit volume? Thanks!

Replace the volume control knob unit on the pcb.

You seem to think there's a reasonable reason for composing at anything less than full volume. Set it to max volume, put a drop of super glue there, fixed.

Contact cleaner might fix it. Spray some into the mechanism of the volume pot and then sweep the pot a bunch of times from max volume to min volume. With my guitar's volume pot I just have to sweep it a few times to get the scratchies out. I tried contact cleaner but the scratchiness just comes back eventually. Just sweeping it works just as well.

A light scrubbing underneath it with Isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush, then blowing out with comporessed air usually does it for me.

I don't think WD40 is good for clearing pots. Isopropyl alcohol. Or just google, how to clear scratchy pots.

WD40 really isn't good for cleaning pots.

Would moving the prosound mod connections to the pre-pot positions eliminate this problem? Would that just make the output stay at max volume?

Yes and yes.
