Default Top radiator tube is oval and dented

I have a top radiator tube on my '30 Model A that has a persistent leak. Have replaced the hose and used Permatex #2 between the hose and the tube. With the hose removed, the connector tube is dented and a bit out of round which I suspect might be from over zealous tightening of the hose clamp. Is there anything I can do to straighten out the top tube?
