Check the hinges...did it actually bend them in, or did it just pop a bushing? Both would cause the door sag. Also it could be the door panel itself just folded and there's a part bent downwards now? Just gotta check it out!!

Very carefully... I'm sure that you could probably do it, but it will not be easy to get the door realigned properly... You may have to heat things to bend them. The easiest way to do it would probably be to pull off the fender and work the hinges with the door on, checking the fit periodically.
