If i understood your post correctly, an attempt to rebush the balance rail area of the offending keys should satisfy the situation to some degree. Your idea of bending the sticker wires is certainly a short term possibility. I've found bending the forks will tend to break the rear of the key if the key is not supported while while attempting the bend.
