it is no longer possible to select WAV -32bit float.

"File menu > Export > Export as WAV", then select "32-bit float" as the "Encoding".

Try this: 1. Duplicate the track. 2. To the upper track, apply "Remove center (to mono)" 3. Split the first track (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/splitting_and_joining_stereo_tracks.html) 4. Apply "Invert" effect to the top (mono) track. 5. Join the two mono tracks back...
