It is also possible, though cost-prohibitive, to spay female geckos. Male geckos having their hemipenes removed would be less difficult, but they might possibly be able to breed still.
I, too, would never breed any of my geckos, and there of plenty of responsible adults looking for pets for a deformed but otherwise able to eat and shed animal, especially if it is friendly. The ones with severe dysfunction, though... tough finding them homes.
I don't think either option- pet-only or euthanizing, is a poor choice. The euthanasia must be done humanely, though, and as a pet one must consider this animal may live for 20-30 years.
