Thanks everyone, for their responses. I'll probably try a hybrid
approach, take the filter ring out and try to straighten out using the
dowel technique + the crescent cut out. If it doesn't work, then I'll
already have the ring out for replacement.

How about get the part from Pentax and replace it yourself? Most filter

What is the best way to fix a light dent on a filter ring end of a lens?
I cannot put a filter on it to try to straighten it out, its bent
slightly more than that, but I dont want to take a pair of pliers to it
either (protected).
