Entrance Door Bent at Upper Corner

Having searched for a previous thread with little success I’ll throw this question out and hope a body expert can offer up some advice.
The entrance door is bent out about ¾ inch at the upper leading edge. The frame from about a foot up from the handle and lower appears OK. It only sticks out about 1/8 inch. The hinge side is fine.
Is there any way, short of removing the door, to align the upper corner?
I did find HowieE’s thread on clamping the door to 2x6.

Seems it may work but there must be a lot of pressure on the form. Being curved instead of straight adds an additional bit of complexity to the mix.
I've got everything from a Porta_Power to a BFH. Anyone with an idea? We can make this work.

Tom.
