Stuck space bar

I have a MacBook Air with the butterfly keyboard, and recently my space bar has been totally stuck. Normally to solve this issue I take a little guitar pick-like gadget I bought off of Amazon and move it around under the space bar until it loosens, followed up by a little compressed air. However, my current situation is the worst it has ever been. The space bar is completely stuck down: it won't move at all. For the time being I've been using a keyboard. Any advice for me? Some people have recommended getting the keyboard totally replaced, but I'd like to avoid that if possible and make it the last-ditch option.When my school reopens again I'm concerned that I can't use my laptop efficiently outside of the home.

Please check to see whether your MacBook Air qualifies for the ➔ Apple Keyboard Replacement Program. Once you confirm that it does then use one of the service links in that article and set up service for you Keyboard.

There really aren't any other options to fix this hardware issue except what is in the link above.
