From that collection, my idea for non-engineered tool.
I will try a ring of 9 Souriau connector pins (just the right bore ) on
the
pins of a brand new valve, setting the pins in heat settable
fire-cement.
Then use preceeded by individual pin straightening with parallel jaw
pliers.

I hate to see you go through all that rot...unless you're just wanting
to be creative I have a 7 and 9 pin straightener socket screwed to
my bench shelf that I'll send you free for the cost of postage. They
don't get much use in my shack. Let me know.

You already own one and I don't, and I wish to get the pins straightened
today and the repair back out the door, as I need the space.

Geez, how many techs or engineers does it take to straighten a few pins???

I'd just go with a fine tipped needlenose and be done with it in 5 minutes.
Or if you want to get fancy, a thin rod with an appropriately sized hole
drill in it!
