Has anyone bent the manual shift lever?

Since installing an aftermarket arm rest and memory foam hed rest, its much more comfortable to lean the seat back. The only problem is, 1st, 3rd, and 5th gear are a stretch for my arm to reach now. Was wondering if anyone has taken a torch to the shift lever and bent it back a bit. I'm just talking about the upper portion. Would it cause any problems?

I read once on here where someone had it done. The trick is to not cook the rubber bushing in the transmission end when heating it. Otherwise, I cannot see how it could hurt anything.
