A nice big cast iron table saw, such as a Delta, would provide a perfect platform to lay the pan on. This will tell you if it's warped, or to high at bolt holes etc.
If bolt holes have pulled out the lip around the bolt hole, I would lay the pan flush on the table say and then ues any hammer and a thin stripe of metal and place it over the hole and litely tap the area out until flat.
