One thing to keep in mind is that musical instruments and to a lesser degree car body panels are not made from high-strength, cold-worked steel, which takes a lot more force to restore, and is a lot more "springy" (i.e. higher yield strength) than those other materials.
Hopefully though, a glue stick might pull out a tubing ding without pulling off the paint, especially if the dent were larger (large enough to have sufficient surface area for a strong pull).
