Replace the extractor. Its available from Brownells or MidwayUSA or Numrich.
What is the age of the rifle.
There are 3 different extractors due to the long production, and 2 of them are long out of factory Marlin production
Type 1 up to 1957, angled small flat spring
Type 2 up to 1972, machined 1 piece
Type 3 up till production stopped, is the stamped one, and FYI, the type 2 extractor is a drop in replacement

Sometimes you can take it out of the bolt and clean the space it goes into and that fixes it.
I had one that after about 30 years, it got kind of gritty in there.
Depending on how old it is, and no more expensive than they are-
changing it anyway once you clean the bolt is a good idea.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
The tip of the extractor can get rounded off causing it to slip over the rim.
