Found a weird trick for fixing door dings without a stud welder

I had this 2018 Camry last week with a nasty crease on the rear passenger door. Dent puller wasn't getting it, and I didn't want to drill holes for the stud welder. Tried using a glue puller with a bigger tab than usual and a heat gun on low. Pulled from the edges instead of dead center, and the crease popped out in like 10 seconds. Has anyone else messed around with glue pull angles and gotten better results than a standard straight pull?

I mean, it's a door ding, not brain surgery.

You know what, I used to be the guy who'd get fired up over a door ding. But honestly seeing it compared to actual brain surgery kind of snapped me out of it. It's just a little mark on metal, not the end of the world.
