MIJ neck plates

Is there anywhere to get a neck plate to fir an MIJ bass? I've got a Squier JV Precision and the neck plate on it has developed a significant curve in the middle so the screw heads don't sit flush in the recesses. I've put a new aftermarket one on and it's a better fit, but the JV neck screws have larger heads so they don't sit quite right either. I'd prefer to have the right size plate so the screws are straight in the heel and not as likely to strip the threads.

Probably stupid but can't you put something on top of it and flatten it back out?

Well, I was thinking that if it bent one way, I can bend the other way too. It's beyond me as to how it's managed to take a bend in the first place.

I’ve never heard of that happening, they are normally quite strong aren’t they 

 

Aye, it's a solid bit of metal, it's not something I can bend with my bare hands. I might wait until I'm at my parents' at Christmas and chuck it in my dad's vice for a couple of days.
