You could possibly warp the flange.

Sounds like viable option and I think that might best way to go, but I don't have one and I called everyone I know and nobody has a pipe chain vise. I might be able to rent one.
The flanges on the Doug Thorley headers are really thick..It might work with them bolted to the engine. I'll give it try using very little force to see if it might budge just enough.
