Use a very small flat blade screw driver. Gently insert it into the grooves that are bent, above or below the bend. Slide the blade up or down the slot until all of the "fins" are straight. Start on one side and work your way across the damaged area. This works on radiators, should help you out.

or use needle nose pliers, whatever fits best.

There is an acutal tool that is used in A/C's to straighten out the ribs on the condensor. It kinda looks like a metal comb with fingers that extend into the ribs and you simply pull down from top to bottom to straighten them out. You could probably find it a a local hardware store. HTH.
