Tips to fix stuck pixels?

I have two stuck pixels, a red one which after tapping the screen disappears for at least an hour and up to a week before showing back up, and a blue one which will NOT go away. I have tried pressure, pixel "exercisers", a hot towel in a plastic bag, and a combination of those but nothing. Anyone have any secret tricks or just any tricks that might fix these?

I heard of a way with a pencil, I think it said to take a dullish pencil and place it over the pixel, then lightly tap on it, though I'd google it to make sure of the correct way of doing it so you don't damage the screen.

I tried the (capped) tip of a permanent marker, nothing

What are the dead/stuck pixel requirements to RMA?

Well its ASUS.... and their dead pixel policy is 3-5 pixels so I would assume the stuck is at least 3, which I have 2 -_-

IKR, its not super terrible since its the ROG SWIFT so its 1440p so they are pretty small, plus the red is the only one that is super noticeable, the blue is hard to see even on a dark grey background because it is muchhh darker than the red one which luckily goes away temporarily at least
