I have sprayed WD-40 onto the center bearing on the back of the dryer, to no avail. The belt seems to be tracking true around the drum and the drum isn't wobbly. It starts off slightly sqeaking but gets louder as the drying continues.

There is a small chance that the idler pulley is guilty one. You need to take it apart and check. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for General Electric DDE5300BBL Electric dryer \| AppliancePartsPros.com The bearing kit Part number: WE25M40 The front slide kit Part number: WE25X60 The idler pulley Part number: WE12X81 Good luck. Post the results. Simon.
