Get a wrecking bar or "jimmy" as they are asl known as and gently prise the dropout open. Pics would be helpful to see ho far gone it is

Minor bit of straigthening out with a pair of large adjustables to get the sideways kinks out. Looks like the dropout has been flattened a bit by the axle bolts but you should be able to open it just enough with a bit of gentle persuasion
