If it's really a mica, I'd replace it with a silver mica, or if you need a
voltage rating beyond 500V, use a "snubber capacitor" (which I THINK is a
silver-mica, made by Cornell-Dublier, sold by Mouser. Usual disclaimers
apply).

If it's one of those mica look-alike wannabes, but really a wax-paber
capacitor (typically vales .01uF and above), replace it with a mylar cap.
