I seen it done. They were only slightly bent enough not to fit through the triples.
I've also seen bent triple clamps straightened.

It's a hassle but if you have the right equipment....

This place has the best quality tubes I have seen. I got my S3 tubes from them. But with a hassle. They have the S3 and KH tubes backwards in their database. They sent me KH tubes and said it was all my fault, I ordered the wrong part. Cost me more to fix their mistake as they insisted it was my mistake. To avoid hassle send them a sample to match.

I linked to your thread on the KTW board pretty early in this thread. I feel your pain and will be cautious.
