clean the needle in order to figure out what's happening. Dipping straight down into Mr. Clean Magic Erasure a few times followed by dry brushing or a brush with isopropyl alcohol from back to front should clean it up to look like the picture below. A real microscope will also help with resolution. I found all my scopes at thrift stores or estate sales.
An extremely dirty or missing stylus tip will cause the problems you are having. There's no way your stylus can penetrate the groove in that condition.
