I had a very stiff hood release cable once. I finally saw that it was routed from the firewall to the latch in such a way that there was a sharp bend in it. I re-routed the cable and it worked much better. Of course it could also help to get some lube into the cable itself. That lube used for bicycle brake and shifter cables would work. WD40 is ok for loosening mechanisms but won't lube very well once it dries up.
