I may be telling you stuff you already tried, but here goes:

If it's like the CTC-5, you have to forget making it right in either the center or the edges, but first get the 3 colors to make parallel lines on the crosshatch using the dynamics. Then you can do a static adjustment, then retouch the dynamic, then final retouch on the static. Later sets had clamping diodes so the center would stand still when the dynamics were adjusted.

Can you see the pole pieces in the neck? If not, experiment with the forward/back position of the convergence yoke to get maximum effect. Towards the end, a very slight turn of the convergence yoke CW or CCW may also affect the coupling between the 3 guns and give you the final tweak.
