have you tried to see if you can pop it with dry ice? and then some heat
with safety gloves put dry ice on the dent, let it sit to make the tank area cold, then remove and hit with a heat gun.
Sometimes you get lucky and the shrink/expand pops it a little at a time.
another option, although a bit riskier is to make the tank airtight and pressurize it with air

I would think that might work if it where not in the dang filler hole.

Bought it that way?
It'll be on you to pay for the fix.
I dented my tank with a small dent.
(White Gold Pearl.)
'07 Ultra.
My insurance paid for it, minus $250 deductable.
Total cost was in the $1,200 range but that was three years ago.
State Farm and no increase in premium.
