if you try to fix, don't hammer, bend, with an adjustable wrench or pliers. it's never going to be perfect, but you can probably get it good enough that you don't notice it in braking. and maybe consider running a larger tire and checking pressure more often. 63 cm means you're a big guy regardless of your build. no rim, steel or aluminum, should be prone to splaying with good tire size selection and pressure.
