If you are seeing 100 hammer created dents, ...then you likely have 100 individual stretched areas of metal. A Hammer & Dolly will not shrink the dents, -it only rearranges the form. Each dent itself must be shrank/shrunk within the confines of the dent itself.

Although I have not seen the trauma you are describing, -and not to contradict any previous advice given above however IMO you really need to use a shrinking disc in lieu of a torch simply because you really want to heat and shrink ONLY the area that has been stretched, ...and not the surrounding area that has the capture. Maybe another way to say this is, -every dent that is on the panel was caused by one blow. Each of those individual dents will need to be corrected one at a time since they were put into the metal one at a time.
