I encountered a similar issue with a clients system (older unibody) I created a tool to fix the issue, very simple I took a two nails welding them together so the first ones head slides within the keys hollow and the rest of the nail is pointing in the direction the case needs to move. Now the second nail is welded to this nail so the head can be tapped with a small hammer to ease the metal back. The keycap and scissor unit needs to be taken out to make room.

Now the second nail is welded to this nail so the head can be tapped with a small hammer to ease the metal back, just forward of the caught nail. The keycap and scissor unit needs to be taken out to make room.
I’ll need to dig for it or create a drawing so you can see it.
In any case taking the system apart to the level needed here is just too far!
