unfortunately if the alcohol doesn't work there are not any other solutions as far as i'm aware, it could be liquid damage, or track damage, button damage or cable damage none of them really fixable without a keyboard replacement.
keyboard replacement on a retina mac is not very nice because you need to take everything out of the mac including the glued battery without breaking it then. basicly rip the keyboard out pulling as many rivets out as possible then replace the keyboard swapping out the rivets for screws. i've done it a few times and i don't enjoy it may places will just replace the "top case" so keyboard palmrest battery"
only thing I can think of for you would be to get an external numpad like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cateck®-Numeric-Keypad-MacBook-Laptops/dp/B018EEYJ6Y
