I've dented a few back in the day. Use the open palm of your hand as close to the edge as you possibly can. Or a rubber hammer and a prayer. Lube the nubs.
This may sound dumb, but try putting them in your freezer for 24 hours. I have over come many obstacles with some good lack of heat.
Are they innies or outies?
