You should be able to heat the tip and bend it, it will discolour the s/s but it will return to it's original colour with some buffing, sanding
or use a bit of pickling paste (Hydrofloric Acid).....bad stuff.
A jeweller is a good idea, I used one once to get some s/s trim repaired and straightened on a 36 Ford coupe.
