dexterities (which isn’t even a word, because dexterity does not have a plural form, because it is not a concrete thing)
While it appears (with minimal research) to stand alone online, Merriam-Webster does disagree. Your assertion seems to be sound in regards to “dexterity” not having a commonly used plural, but I think your base reasoning is faulty here, since there are any number of abstract concepts which do in fact have plural forms. If multiple individuals possess dexterity at different tasks, do you think it unreasonable to speak of the dexterities involved, rather than the clunkier “dexterity at different tasks possessed by multiple individuals”?
