replace individual keys on butterfly?

I had the Apple butterfly-keyboard free replacement several years ago and that has been mostly successful (2016 MacBookPro 15"), but I have a worn-through A key, and the E-key is loose and comes off constantly. Is it possible to replace the keys individually?

I ordered two replacements from an outfit called something like laptop replacement keys or the like and they never fulfilled the order and I had to cancel for a refund. Looked dodgy.


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
