if it sometimes shows it sounds like a lazy sub pixel. Gently massaging or flicking the pixel can sometimes help, and you've already tried running various pixel recovery programs which simulate plenty of change requests to the pixel to try and bring it back to life. The VS dead pixel policy doesnt extend to dead / lazy subpixels on the VA range at this time afaik.

Then i only prey it starts working....or dies so i can get a replacement.... red is a very anoying color to have stare at you while you sneak up on a guard
