Bent wheel after crash. Repairable?

I have a slight bend in the rim of my rear tire. I put it on a truing stand and loosened all the spokes and removed the tire and it is still bent. It is not a dramatic bend I would say it’s displaced maybe a half an inch side to side. The wheel appears to be in good shape otherwise. I’m wondering if this is repairable by re-trueing or if I have to bend the rim to get it straight with the zero tension in the spokes and then True it

thanks for the help
