When you say that it won’t work because you have tried, what do you mean? I’m the first one to say that lager beer can’t really be reproduced with an ale yeast because some of the character you get in a beer like this (granted, Red Stripe doesn’t have much character to begin with) comes directly from the yeast. But I have used a number of neutral ale yeasts with soft water and low fermentation temps and have made some very nice, smooth and dare I say, “Pilsner-like” ales. I have used 1056, WLP001 and even 1028 close to 60° and had pretty believable gold beers. 2112 is an option as well.
