Default Infotainment Buttons Rubbed Off

I have a 2014 v8s and I’ve been cleaning all the buttons to remove the sticky. The ones around the screen rubbed off. If I go with the dealer will they give me the newer hard plastic version? Is their a cheaper alternative? Also I’m pretty capable with wrapping the interior and exterior with vinyl wrap and I rather rub off the buttons completely and customize the buttons with vinyl. I can do that better if I could take it apart, but they have some tiny torx screws. Is it torx?

Not sure what screws you are referring to, but if they look like Torx, and a Torx bit won't fit, they are likely Pentalobe screws... They look like Torx, but have 5 teeth instead of 6. Just FYI

Let me know if you find a good solution to this, when I bought my 2015 Base used with 33k miles it came with sticky buttons aswell.
