Unfortunatly the ball peen hammer is probably the better fix. They do make offset control arm shafts to help with alignment.

Try turning the bolt around so the nut is to the inside.

I don't know about factory a-arms but this fix was mentioned in the instructions of my aftermarket tubular control arms, I did it but have not had aligned yet.

Turning the bolt around and a smaller dimple might do the trick.

If the springs are already installed, you would have to compress/disassemble the springs to safely remove the bolt.
