Since I am dealing with what looks like only one pixel, the actual selection process, where one uses the cross hairs to mark the area of the image where they want to paint, is far too blunt a point to use to accurately mark the area.

For one stuck pixel, you could try using the Median Paint Mode. Select a larger region around the stuck pixel, and the median filter will only effect one colored pixel with minimal change to the other pixels (no feathering necessary).

It would seem that the easier approach is to use the paint effect. Using the Zoom In feature of the preview screen while adjusting the shape and size of the applicator to paint at the pixel level seems to be of great improvement. The render out of the effect takes a while, but worth it. I think the key is to use the eye dropper to match the color of the pixel next to the one you want to paint.

 ...Huh ? The Median filter. (??) What's that and what palet group is it in ?

EDIT: ...And I answer my own question ! It is in the mode drop down list in the effect filter settings itself

 Seccess ! Yup the median filter in the paint effect is the key to eliminating dead pixels. Once again Avid Media Composer prooves itself as the tool for repairing messed up video !

I just want to personally thank robg!

The recommendation to use the paint effect in "median" mode fixed my pixel problems in a snap!

Avid made this soving this serious problem way to easy!!!!

Thanks for the tip!!
