The thermocouple could be going bad and is marginal. It's function is

lit, the pilot flame looks normal? If not, if it's too small, uneven,
etc then there could be some debris in the orifice.

I don't know what "normal" looks like, but what you said about a bad
thermocouple is understandable.

Do you know if it's easy to replace?
