Hi, Greg.
I don’t know how you’ve tried to straighten the veins?
But here’s how I’d go about it.
1. Make a card board template of the exact centre of the spider.
2. Make sure the veins are tight, if not go around and tighten a quarter turn at a time. ( Do not over tighten!! )
3. Check for centre with template.
4. Have two sets of flat nosed pliers at hand, ( use card board packers with pliers to protect the veins). Grasp as close as possible to the inner and outer edge of the vein as possible, twist in the desired direction. Do this a little at a time!!
5. If this works, check with your template re-adjust if needed.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Justin.
