A new spoke costs 1.50 and would take 10 minutes to replace it... bent spokes can be straightened but badly scored and bent spokes need to be replaced and bet the wheel is not as true as it could be because of this.

Risk is that badly damaged spokes will create stress risers, fatigue prematurely, and break.
