FWIW, on the '75 Archer I used to own, the ammeter needle would sometimes stick
against the faceplate and not move. The mechanic bent the needle a little bit so
it wouldn't drag against the faceplate. The bent needle looked like crap, but it
worked after that.

The correct term (so as not to scare the uninitiated) is "formed" not
"bent". Your mechanic "formed the needle a little bit". So it was
explained to me by an ex-IBM ield engineer, anyway.
