If you are handy and lucky, you may get lucky and be able to heat it again and reshape using compressed air. This may also be dangerous! Post a pic? How badly is it deformed? You could try and heat it with a heat gun and reshape it...even if this works you will likely be left with an ugly piece. Could just save the aggravation and toss it quickly into the recycle bin

The last thing you want is to take time to brew and have a fermenter leak in a small spot that wasnt noticable. Easier to just get a new fermenter . Chalk it up to a lesson learned .
