Hmmm nasty
That could be a bit tricky to straighten the shaft.

I've done it on bigger Danforths
But needed heat to really get it straight. Small one like that, Mapp gas burner will get it hot enough. But you will lose the galvanising off the heated section, leading to rust. Even if you were able to cold straighten it, likely the gal would be damaged anyway.
