The only fix for dead pixels is to pay Apple to replace the screen on your iPhone. You can see what the cost would be (US Prices) here --> iPhone Screen Repair & Replacement - Apple Support


As you can see, for iPhone Xr, it will cost $199.

This is why you are always supposed to do a backup before any service is performed on an iPhone. Then you can restore the phone from that backup, so no loss of data. But you should ONLY let Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider do anything on your iPhone. DO NOT let a 3rd party iFixit type business replace the screen. They don't have access to authentic Apple parts.
