Are these bars toast?

Took a very minor spill on some train tracks while stopped at a light. Stupid I know, but it happens.

Anyways, my bars have made a small creak ever since. Not all the time... just every once in awhile. Took them off today and found this (see attached).

How screwed am I? I'm a heavy strong rider, nowhere near the fastest, but I do put my bike through the paces.

Worse part about it, is that I'd been setting my torque wrench to 5.5Nm, only to find out that 5Nm is specified on the bars. Lot's of mis-info online. Find 5.5Nm and 6Nm specs for the bars on many shop websites.

Really don't need this added expense right now.
