Here's another suggestion: it's lugged steel, so replacing the bottom bracket shell is straightforward. Maybe you can find a local framebuilder to do it pretty cheap?

I'm suggesting this because I'm not sure I'd want to ride on that BB shell even if you can somehow get it back into shape. Bending the steel like that is almost certain to weaken it.
