The problem seems to be the mechanism has gotten worn down so that the dial is sloppy. If you push on the frame counter from the back you may be able to see a very slight movement. So the reason you can move it 4-5 ticks is that it is free for those ticks but as you turn it from the front your finger is pushing it off-center towards the back. What I do is turn it from the top with thumb and finger and on my M2 that works fine.
