I loved these pencils. One of my old ones wore out from overuse (shaker mechanism exploded everywhere) and another had an unfortunate incident with acetone. I've also had the tips bend, here's what I always did:
Take a thin paper clip or needle, and poke it through the tip (off the pencil).
Holding the clip by both sides, you can move one hand to bend the tip back into position.
Just don't bend it too far, and you should have it "straightened out" (like what I did there?)
This might be a bit of a long shot... But if you like the Shaker and are thinking about getting a new pencil, I'd suggest the Pilot Dr. Grip. It can be found for less than $10, with multiple variants intended for Japan and America. My preference is for the Japanese version, with a squishier grip and a more balanced weight-- but the American one is a bit more resistant to acetone. (hehe, the same mistake has been made three times so far. Mechanical pencils are NOT paintbrushes.)
