It's probably not the actuator, but the lock mechanism. The actuator pushes a rod that moves some levers to unlock the door. Those levers get sticky over time from dust, dirt, and misalignment. So yes, lubing and general clean-up can fix it.
First off, I'd try and identify which actuator is the problem. The wiring for the actuators run through a cable from the door frame to the door, with a connector. Disconnect the connectors one at a time and lock and unlock the doors. If disconnecting just one of them prevents the fuse from blowing, that's your man. Of course, disconnecting the driver's door doesn't work here.
If the problem is just one door, do that one and see if the problem goes away. If not, you may have to attack all the doors.
Good luck!
