bent needle??

[cr25096er]

i was going to raise the needle in my 96cr250's carb and when taking it out i bent it. its not bad but im afraid of it moving while im at wot n sticking. is this possible? What would be the best way to bend it back? could i use heat? and could it throw off the mixture?

Honestly for the price of a new needle is it worth messing anything up? I think not.

im definitly gonna replace it but i wanna ride tomorrow. it should be fine, i had the carb off and went through every way it could get stuck and it all checked out fine.
