As I ssid above. If there is entry into tube from head tube or around seat lug, scratch and dent guys have tools that can get in there and pop it back out without breaking the paint. Or sometimes they can pit a suction cup on it and pull it out. Last resort w/b to drill a hole in dent, thread it, pur screw in, and use something to pull it out. Then patch hole, cover any unpainted area with bondo or similar, and then match the paint and rattle can spray it. I’ve seen those guys spray a couple different colors into a paint can lid and perfectly match any paint color. A good one has amazing skill. Only takes them a few minutes. Car dealers hire them to clean up scratch and dents on used cars they acquire.
