Some are hollow - with solid ends welded into them.

Others are solid - these you might have better success in straightening.

I would try putting in a large vise and use a piece of pipe over the end to pull it straight. Then check with dye penetrant if it makes you feel better.

Definitely don't throw it away - somebody can probably use it.
