How do I repair crushed pusher tube?

[ro63rto]

Hi all
Got this Seiko 7t32-6a5a a while ago for peanuts.
 
 

 
At first I thought it would just need a good clean up and maybe a circuit block from a trashed donor but when I disassembled it, I soon found out the reason for the sticky pusher.
Nope, not DNA but a careless user...
 
Can you see it?

 
Bit closer

 
The snapon casebacks have relief cuts to accommodate pushers and stems but the previous person to "work" on this was not very careful and ended up crushing the tube.
 
Can this be remedied or is the case trashed?

That should be fixable. Either ream or use a something to get it back in workable shape again. As long as the gasket doesn't get trapped and the pushers works it should be fine.
