Upper conrol arm brackets indented from bushings

While disassembling the front end of my 70 R/t and removing the bolts the upper control arms were wedged in place because the bushings were indented into the sides of the brackets and were difficult to remove. The previous owner drag raced the car so it was used hard. Is this a common occurence and are the brackets (the ones welded to shock towers in the wheel wells) repairable or replacable?

I have not come across this problem before but the answer is yes they are replacable or repairable. I wouldn't like the job of doing it though.
