X-T3 stuck pixels - Pixel mapping not fixing them

Hi! I bought a 2nd hand X-T3, next to mint condition visually but the owner said it's got like 15k shutter actuations.

I performed the dead/hot/stuck pixel test as instructed in
and found out some faulty piexels, but sadly the Pixel Mapping actually left most of them unfixed.

The photos below are 1/1000s, f/22, ISO800, these are JPEGs with contrast and lightness maxed out in RawTherapee to make them more visible.

What do you think about the health of the sensor looking at the pics? Is it normal or does my camera have too many of faulty pixels?

The raw files are available at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VGFiSGcyfMvyAZX2JxWTFban0k8aaLHC

I looked at your RAWs, and without exaggerated processing there isn't any trouble to be seen anywhere ...nothing at all to worry about at all, enjoy your new camera. I suspect everybody's sensors will perform the same way if pushed to the extreme at ISO 800.

Stuck or dead pixels happen. This is why cameras have pixel mapping in the first place.

However, sometimes that fails for whatever reason. Most raw converters these days automatically map bad pixels.

Prior to those days I built an action to deal with them.
