There's a few people offering repair services for the TNPA5081 now.
But little in the way of kits and not all kits are necessarily complete enough to be a success.
In fact if certain key bits are missing, your newly fitted Q661 will likely pop.
A couple of posts have popped up now about the ShopJimmy kit.
Both have failed I expect with the current contents a majority will.
This would be a better kit but also a bit expensive. 27 parts
kit
SJ only has 25 parts. also reported is at least one SMD transistor that has been substituted with another of a larger package which makes it a little harder to solder in place since the pads don't line up.
SJ example
Looking at this, not a bad option when you factor in a kit and risk of failure.
But for the skilled, replacing just the bad bits will be the cheapest.
