i was in the same situation with a cxp33 rim recently-
best way is actually with a couple of adjustable wrenches- put one on each side, and have yer friend hold them, to prevent you from bending the rest of the rim, then put a third on the dent, and carefully bend it back out.
then start saving for a new rim. if you get a new deep v, you can probably re-use the spokes and nipples.
