Yes do that.
I would try it this way:
Remove the heel piece
Remove some base material.
Get a couple of pipe clamps, and clamp one on either side of that bent edge. (clamp goes from one side of ski to other)
Get a hammer and punch, and attempt to get a localized hit on that bend.
Keep a close look to be sure you are not making it worse.
You won't get it perfect but you might straighten it a bit
File down the remaining burrs/high spots.
Dry the damaged area out real good
fill with epoxy and or ptex. clamp with scrapers if necessary.
After a couple days of curing file/ sand the high spots.
Install heel piece and go.
The coefficent of desireability is inversly proportionate to the degree of availability.
