One of the ways cams can be sticking is that the inner round flat bit of the cam catches on the round recess in the back plate.
This in turn means there is no end float in the shaft of the cam, so the lever also may stick against the inner side of the backplate.
You are implying that you do not have adjustable cables, so you can't let out more cable to allow the cams to go flat against the shoes.
If the cables have had adjusters on them they will be kinked, and will lengthen as the kinks straighten with use.
Even if you think you have bent them flat again, they won't be.
Can any of the cotters on the levers on the cross shaft be changed around to give you a bit more length on the cables?
