I used to dig CRT's out of the dumpster behind the TV shop as a kid and straighten many a pin out with a needle nose. Just take your time and be very patient working from the end down to the glass, don't go for perfection here. I doubt the mask is wrinkled with the small size of this one, I've had 19V tubes dropped and the mask was fine.
Sure miss those PortaColor sets, my first experience came with a serious zap as I didn't know anything about the polarized cords... I was just 10 and dad wasn't impressed with my choice of words!
