I'm just an amateur dabbler player/ self-taught instrument hack repairman, but if I understand you correctly, I don't think that is a very legitimate way to repair that problem, I hate to tell you. At the most temporary and reversible, I think something can be jammed in the hole where the point screws go, like tiny balls of Teflon tape. The posts can countersunk to take up play, but if you are beyond that point, material would need to be added and the tapered holes re-reamed. Anyway, I don't think I would use any regular pliers to try to straighten the post- there are post bending pliers for metal bodied woodwind instruments that would probably work better.
