Hey aere!
My old Bamboo pen used to respond that way. Changed the nibs thinking that was the issue. The need to hit the tablet at a certain angle. Shaking it like it was running out of ink. I went through the same thing. The problem with mine was the thing that's holding the nib was cracked. That thing attached to the board. It broke because I was treating my old pen as if it was made of wood!
Quick and dirty solutions:
1. Use the eraser tip for drawing. Most models have eraser pressure sensitivity! And some painting softwares recognize the eraser tip same as the pen tip.
2. Touch mode if you have that.
3. Try to crack the thing open, see it for yourself if you can fix it yourself. (Bad idea!)
4. Buy a new one. Or, if you're a cheapskate like me, a second hand model.
What I did:
Usually, there's a Wacom distributor in every country. I looked them up, got in contact with them, and luckily for me they had a replacement pen in stock. My Bamboo (still in use) is a 2009 model. And I got my replacement pen just last year. It takes a little bit of research who they are (I found the distributor through Facebook). Unless you're from the Philippines, that's all the information I can provide!
Good luck with that! Let me know how it goes!

If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!
