Default Bent head stud on a 59AB

Suggestions for straightening a bent head stud. Using a machinist square and measuring the distances between the studs, one of the studs in the 2nd row from the top is clearly bent. The studs have been in there for at least 50-60 years, and in my experience, don't exactly want to leave their happy home. I have used heating and cooling cycles on head studs in the past, with successes and failures. I would like to straighten this stud in place rather than trying to getting it out to replace it. Should I do it cold with section of pipe, or heat it cherry at the base and tweak it. Need about .060 to .100 thousands movement at the top of the stud. Thank you Fordbarners.
