I've straightened lots of these, they usually aren't that difficult. They don't take much force, and there tends to be enough room to get something in there without much hassle.
I'd rather straighten half a dozen bent IC legs than have to replace SMD ceramic caps with a soldering iron.
My advice, is to not be afraid to use a push a tiny bit harder if it doesn't seem to work... just don't go full-Hulk on it, or you could bend it back enough to break it.
Now for some blitting from the back buffer.
