CS/GTS Hood deformed. Can this be bent back?

The gap between my CS hood and the front bumper is uneven despite a few shop's attempts to fix it by adjusting the latches, bump stops and bumper itself. No dice. The only other conclusion we came up with is that the hood is slightly bent from an improper closure where someone attempted to close the hood, it did not latch, so they violently pressed hard in the middle to engage the latches not knowing it was a CFRP hood.

Has anyone had any success heat reforming the hood slightly? I do not want to replace and repaint this hood as it is $$ but at the same time the fender gap is annoying and it's all I can see now.
