I was told cold setting would work if careful. It didn't. Dropout fractured right at the adjuster screw hole.
Yup, the adjuster raises red flags when I run into this.

The stamped drops on the OP's bicycle should bend right back into shape. I do it by supporting the drops with the suggested bolt idea and then clamp the drop in a vice and, with great care and checking progress frequently, squeeze back into shape.

If the drop is forged with an adjuster, I forget about it. My butt is just too important, no buts about it.
