You could horse around with the hook contraption for a while and then take it to a machine shop after you mess up one or both sides, or just take it to the shop now and have them fix it so you can get back out sailing faster.

The tool you want for messing up this fitment the most efficiently is actually a Dremel, though, and a carbide or diamond bit.

If the situation is bad enough that you thought the shaft was bent, I’d get thee to a shop, pronto.
