Straightening spider veins

Hello,

I have an 10" F/4 newtonian inwhich a couple of the spider veins are noticibly bent/warped. What is the best way to straighten them??? I have tried by hand but I don't think I achieve much. For most of my images it does not make a noticible difference but when I come up against a bright star I am getting double diffraction spikes, which I am certain is caused by the spider viens being out. Please see attached image (and yes I know I have got a reflection off the coma corrector there as well)

Cheers

Greg
