If the distortion is at the base flange, a come-a- long will do. If the damage is somewhere in the tube length, remove the column, and press or bang it out with a hammer and block of wood. Might want to cut a notch in the wood block to spread the impacts. Don't mess with the rivet. Motorcycle fork tube are spun in a lathe to check runout. But you haven't a lathe so don't worry about it. A straightedge will get you close enough.
You should straighten it. You might be surprised how a slight misalignment can affect the amount of effort required to turn the steering wheel. The misalignment causes the steering shaft and bearing to bind.
