Ouch, you might try going to hardware store or something and see if you can "borrow" a torx and some pliers
 
Sebenza's use hex (Allen) bits. You can probably fix that with just your fingers and a crack in a table.
 
I'd go the hardware store route, if possible.

Find a 5/56" Allen wrench, remove your clip, put only the flat surface with the clip screw hole in either a non-marring wooden crack (as suggested above), or take some electrical tape in with you, wrap the flat screw-hole surface to prevent marring, chuck it up in a display vise or a set of vice grips, and bend your clip forward (back into shape) putting the pressure between the "chucked-up" surface and the indentation in the middle of the clip. Any further forward pressure on your clip and it will buckle as you bend it and develop a funky, humped shape. You want the "bending back into shape" to occur primarily at the point between the flat screw-hole surface and the indentation. Done this several times myself and it works like a chaaaaaaaaaaaaarm.

Professor.
 
I don't know if it still does this but CRK used to mail allen wrenches to customers who lost them no charge. If you're stating in the same place for at least a week call CRK CS--it may be an oprion. But any hardware store would have the 5/64 allen wrench.
 
How did it get this way? I've never had this happen to any of my folder clips .
 
I've had it happen to clips. Just takes walking to close to something and it grabs it and puts a bend in the clip. I actually had it happen last weekend in a busy deli and brushed up against a table. I got it useable by smacking the knife and clip against a hard surface. Wasn't a really tight fit but it was tight enough to stay put clipped to a pair of jeans.
