Hear this kit works good for replating fasteners, havent tried it myself. Cool bike and good luck with it.

Yeah I've heard the Eastwood plating kit does work kinda sorta. There are also youtube videos showing do it yourself versions. Just need to get around to doing it.
Have you considered the hot melt glue technique to remove/minimize the tank dent? I think Harbor Freight sells a kit and Jeff Bezos certainly does. Easy enough to make your own. I have never tried it but looks like fun.
Yes I think something like that might work, maybe combined with some internal air pressure. I hate to try it myself though since the dent is right over a decal and I'm worried the heat might loosen it and lift it off. Need to consult an expert first.
