I second grabbing the torx screwdriver.
I got a cheap(ish) multi-bit screwdriver kit at Princess Auto and it has
been great for fixing things like that.
It may not be a corroded trace but it may still just be wet inside and
the coffee and water would happily conduct.
If you take the board out and can a bit of clean water can be used to
flush the wet parts.
Also things like keyboards don't take kindly to dirty water under the keys.

I'd try buying the correct torx screwdriver sizes at CanTire and take
it apart myself. Then clean and put back together.

So, my laptop won't turn on today and it's likely due to a coffee
spill that happened yesterday. I suspect a trace on the board may
have become corroded. I took it to the ASUS repair centre on
Markham and the absolute minimum cost to repair it would probably
be $400 and if I want to keep everything on my SSD I would need to
remove it first (but I don't have the necessary torx bits to do
that). I think they only swap parts out and don't attempt to
actually repair.
Does anyone know of a good and reputable repair place that would
be able to fix a corroded trace on the board if that's all it is?
It's an Asus Zenbook UX305C.
