The left click of my razer abyssus 1800 has become a bit buggy. It doesn't work when you click on the outside of the button, but that has been like that for a while and it was never a problem because I click close to m3 anyways. But 2 days ago it has started not working 50% of the time when I try to rocket jump. When I play scout it works 100% of the time. Only when rocket jumping is it buggy... Which makes me suspect that there might be a different issue then the switch just being worn out. Does anyone have experience with this?
Right now I'm just using m2 to shoot, which is fine for now. But I want to try to fix this before getting a new mouse.

I had something similar with my deathadder. the middle of m1 stopped to properly work when I held it or sometimes not register when I clicked it. But especially holding it, I noticed it would sometimes stop holding and then hold again. On the sides of the button it still worked.
I ended up buying a new mouse (G403, works wonders for me so far).

Open the mouse, you'll find a plunger - on my previous death adder it was a clear plastic thing glued to the top of the mouse's outer shell, I assume the abyssus is similar in design, but you may wanna consult youtube or the razer website on how best to get to this particular institution.
Then take a standard fingernail file and file the m1 plunger down just a little bit, and maybe do a nice cleaning while you're in there.
What has likely happened is that as you've played the plastic piece that pushes the mouse's m1 contact down has gotten a divot or small hole in it, and when you press down the contact just goes right into the hole and isn't depressed, hence why you have to go at an angle (because the sides of the plunger are still their original size) so if you just remove those sides you'll be good as new :D Any standard nail file will work, and there's basically no chance that you'll screw up your mouse unless you *really* go overboard with the filing.

I want to try that but before I do I wanna figure out how make the mouse usable again after opening it up. Because you need to remove the mouse feet to be able to open the mouse. Does razer sell spare mouse feet for every different mouse design? Or how are you supposed to put new mouse feet in?

You've got a few options on the mouse feet.
1. Is you can try to do it SUPER carefully, and you may be able to put the original feet back into place
2. Is yes, they do usually sell mouse feet on their website, or you can likely find them from an alternate retailer (ebay or etc).
3. You can replace them with tape. They do make this stuff called "mouse tape" but unless it's got a Teflon coating I don't see how its appreciably different from using scotch tape (which is what I did for years and years).
So in short, you could do it right now, and if you screw them up when you take them off and can't get them back on properly, then just use the scotch tape replacement as a stop-gap until you can secure new feet or Teflon coated tape if you're not happy with the scotch tape.
Even if it's not plunger wear you'll still need to get in there and clean anyhow "contact cleaner" is fairly easy to find and would probably be the ideal stuff to use on the contact itself.

Sounds like switch problem to me, you're probably just pressing the button different when rocket jumping.
I had the same issue multiple times with my abyssus and deathadder. One time I was able to fix it, by disassembling the mouse and blowing compressed air on the switch. Other time I tried this method - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82z-OpHdBgE, it fixed the problem, but the click felt different afterwards, so I still ended up replacing my mouse.
