The stylus is "sliding" across the record because you probably don't have enough tracking force (VTF) applied to the arm.
Here are the instructions to do that. It's a different model, but the procedure is the same. This is a BASIC way to do it. Using a scale is the best, but this will get you close.
I'm pretty sure your stylus is fine as long as it doesn't appear to be bent. Should be centered.
