After some "brainstorming" I figured I'd rewet the edge pocket and try to straighten the warps and fix the augered holes.
Boiled up some water and dunked the upper 3/8s inch of the pocket and used the pock mount as a template for restraightening. I did it 2 x and seems to have taken to its old shape nicely. Will reinforce the back side with some form of plumbers tape and should be good to go.
