Straightening pedal post

I took a part my first pedal [ didn't realize how many pieces were in a pedal ] so the bolt piece [?] not sure what it is called, has a bend. I'm thinking of sticking it in my vice and then gripping it where the pedal wrench would get it and give it a bend in the opposite direction.

Anyone ever do something like this?

a junk crank in a vise, screw shaft in tight, a pipe over shaft..... badda bing
and no vise marks on shaft
