What are you feeding them?
Yes, what are you currently giving them? Once we know, perhaps we can offer some alternatives.

Whiskers kitten meat we have also trued kitten milk and biscuits softened with water
Sometimes a runt will wean to soft foods a bit later, but the other 8 week olds should be eating well.
I suggest you try Fancy Feast Classic pates (no chunks or shreds) with the bigger kittens, and perhaps some jars of Gerber plain turkey meat baby food with the runt.
Try putting some baby food on the runt's gums, or even let him lick from your finger.
