Any way to replace a stylus on an MC cart?

I recently got an Audio Technica AT-OC5 that came with my new TT.

The cantilever was bent. I carefully straightened it and now it looks straight and you can barely see the little dent.

1) Is there any way to replace the cantilever? If there is, I think the cart would be worth it, right?

2) I know this isn't ideal, but would it be dangerous to use it as is if only to see how I like the sound? Or would I be damaging my records?

If it's a brand new TT send it back to the company for one that wasn't damaged. Otherwise you might be out of luck.

No, it came mounted on a TD-124 MkII I just bought and am trying to get running.
The seller had informed me so there is no sending back.
 
I don't know if AT handle such things but I doubt it. I sent an email to find out.
Any other companies offering such services?

What is the consensus on the soundsmith services?

Is the cart worth the money?
