You can try using shims. The basic idea is like method #4, but you
slip a shim in the crack exposed when you bend the mast. Rotate 180
degrees, press down and slip a shim in the other side. Repeat, adding
more shims each time.
It works for a regular size mast; not sure if the diameter of skinny
will give you enough leverage or open enough of a crack.
