OK I understand, but the bottom line is you have a bulkhead pulled away first of all, which needs to be fixed properly. Second, if the mast were correctly situated on the maststep (and your maststep were not failing in some respect) it would not be moving on the maststep so that oiling it would quiet it. These are indications of more serious issues that need to be addressed.
Just my opinion,
