MacBook Pro key replacement

Is it possible to swap out the keys on a A2289 MacBook Pro as it began to overheat which caused the keys to reshape and now when typing it feels very off so I was wondering if its possible to change them out without a full keyboard replacement

MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)
