I think bending it back would only weaken the steel. If I were to ever get it off, I would install a new one, or go to a metal shop and get a heavier piece of steel to replace it.

A little heat did the trick for me. I used the propane torch for about 5 minutes and I was able to get the bolt to turn. I then heated the pad with the torch and pounded it flat with a 10# maul. It's 1/4 inch steel so I doubt if I weakened it at all. At least now it is back to flat and doing the job it was designed for.
