Is the needle itself bent, or just the tip?
If it's the needle, you can trying to gently roll it straight between two steel straight edges. Gently rolling it back and forth length wise.
If it's the tip, I've straighten them by gently rolling them on a small piece of glass, trying to maintain the proper angle.
GENTLY is the key word here.
