I regularly buy various concentrations or "grades" in the 50's , 70's , 90's and 99%. The 90's I believe is the only percentage that won't cause rust, anything lower would.
If isopropyl alcohol doesn't work, you can switch to denatured alcohol. isopropyl or ethanol will dissolve the bulk of the crap I find on circuit boards. Ethanol (denatured alcohol) is what I regularly use when cleaning circuit boards after I repair them. I also don't find ethanols "sweeter" smell as annoying as the "medicine"-like isopropyl.

I would stay away from trying to dye ball tops. To me it seems that ball tops are created with molds of denser plastic than push buttons. It also seems that most ball tops have a clear finish coating on them making it close to impossible for the dye itself to permeate into the ball top itself. Push buttons are easier to dye because they have no clear coat and are either extruded or vacuum formed making them a less dense and easier for the dye to infuse into the plastic.
Hope you find the right color Chance. It's hard when you can't just whip out your balls and place them next to what you need to match. I know you already ordered your balls but Groovy Game Gears Medium Violet seems to be a match to what you are looking for. Good luck with your balls. :lol

If you can find one, the Wico joystick top from the X-men 6 player arcade (Nightcrawler) seems like a good match:
Edit: IIRC, The Real Bob Roberts may carry it. It's worth checking with him: http://www.therealbobroberts.net/joyparts.html
