Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

+1 on no. You will never get it straight enough to work properly and you stand a good chance of damaging it's attachment to the fork crown. Replace it.

Also, if the (I assume) crash was enough to bend the steerer, check to be sure the frame's headtube wasn't distorted too.
