Damaged Dynavector 20XL

Somehow I have managed to severely bend the sytlus on my Dyna 20xl (low hours). What are my best options here? Is retipping an option or should I just write it off an replace it?

Wow, that's a big difference. I thought maybe a couple hundred bucks. If it were me, I'd retip and spend the extra on vinyl.
