A temporary fix might be to use a thicker grease. Personally, I had a problem on the old tuba I used where my tuning slide kept falling out in summer whilst I was playing loud. Some car grease was suggested, but it only delayed the slide falling out.
I would say getting the slide expanded would be the best thing, but in the meantime, you could always try thicker grease
