Default Press it against a hard surface, but be very careful. May take 3 or 4 times...
you don't want to bend too much.

Default With a good tool, you can use the part of the tool with a notch...
and use that to bend the ground electrode. If you only have feeler gauges, you can tap the ground electrode on a hard surface and re-measure. Repeat as needed.
