Default dent in dash - can I push it out?

So my buddy has a temper and decided to get pissed and chuck his damn phone because the touch screen stopped working and put a big dent in my dash...but he's broke...so my question is, can I pull the dash off and basically push it out or rebrace it so its normal again? I really don't wasn't to buy a new dash because this dumbass....any help would be appreciated.

My cousin did the same thing so I left him on the side of the road. I took a bat & rolled over the edges & it helped a little. Still could see it but it helped.

This will be very hard to fix.

*IF* it can be done, pulling the dash and having an upholstery place look it over will be your best bet. Either way, any fix won't be easy or cheap.

You certainly won't be able to pull or push it out from the other side as the "foam" inside the dash is now compressed.

If there is a real/proper DIY fix for this, I'd love to hear about it.
