I doubt very much that fix will last very long...Seems to me the metal face has already been compromised, (bent), and attempting to hammer it back to straight again will likely only weaken the metal even more. If the metal bends that easily, it is very likely to bend again under stress no matter what kind of 'filler' you use in the face slots. (Needless to say, a slightly concave or convex clubface just won't work very well)
