Try to shoot in various condition and see if the dust affects something.
If it doesn't (and realistically it won't), in my opinion, it's not worth the effort and risks.

A little dust most likely won' affect the image quality at all. The 58/1.2 is too valuable to tinker with if you haven't done it before. Practice on a 5 euro lens... Or, send the Rokkor in for professional cleaning and lubrication. That's what I did and mine is like new now.

+1 open a lens only if necessary, dust is normal in old lenses. If not effect image quality not necessary to clean it, every cleaning risk lens safety.
