I used a body hammer and dolly - was pretty easy to get them flat again.
IMO a hammer blow is much more effective than a tightening bolt will be.
After that I installed the gasket to the pan using RTV and set the whole
works gasket-down on a sheet of glass. The result was a sealed gasket with
a very flat surface to present to the machined bottom of the block. A
non-hardening sealer (e.g. Hylomar) will then work with that. With a bit
of care the gasket will stay with the pan upon removal and can be re-used.
