I like to bend those back by finding just the right socket, maybe a 9mm or so , put it on a nut driver, slide the socket over the bottom tang of the dropout (make sure you have a socket that's snug on there) and bend back into shape.

Use the socket to open up the dropout, if the face of the dropout isn't nice and square, use a crescent to bend into shape on that axis.
