The whole driver is only 85mm (about 3 inches) diameter. The part in the center isn't just a dustcap, it's actually an integrated metal dome (aluminum) tweeter. And, it's very lightweight, which means it is unbelievably thin. I'm quite certain that anything I try to do to fix it will only make things worse.
If I were to attempt any kind of repair at all, it would be something along the lines of the trick they use to fix dents in motorcycle fuel tanks. Take a chunk of dry ice in a pair of pliers, and slowly make circles around the edge of the dent. As the metal shrinks from the cold, the dent is supposed to pop out. Of course, I'd have to use a piece of dry ice no bigger than a rabbit dropping, and the pliers would have to be tweezers.
Or, I can just try to ignore it until I can find a replacement.
"It's a different experience; the noise occlusion, crisp, clear sound, and defined powerful bass. Strong bass does not corrupt the higher frequencies, giving a very different overall feel of the sound, one that is, in my opinion, quite unique."
