2-3 mm .... on a skyway?
So you've got a good one then? Isnt that about as straight as they get? Just slacken off the brakes so it dont rub. Its not like the brake will work anyway

someone had a way of warming them then using two car rims to sandwich the tuff, to straighten them. but for 2/3mm may be a bit extreme

Soz to disagree,but i have skyways on most of my bikes and all the brakes work spot on.  :)

As for the buckle,i wouldnt bother,because if you do some tricks on your bike the skyways usually bend back into shape eventually.  ;)

Are you sure that the slight bend is not actually in the hub/spindle ?

This is common too.
