One meaning is somewhat. He may pay, but a little late or a little less than the full amount due. Another meaning is about or approximately.

If literal, "He is paying his dues, but sometimes late or cumulatively underpaying a little."
If figurative, "He has mostly earned his right to something through hard work or suffering." OR "He is now paying through hardship for some previously unearned good luck."

Need more context, but more or less it means to a varying or undetermined extent or degree. Yes, it can mean a plethora of things being that it's varying or undetermined.

It means "sort of." I don't think there's any other meaning.
