You can try it with the stock finish left intact but you may have better results if the finish is stripped. I would suggest to first try steaming the dings without stripping the finish.

Wet a hand towel and wring out most of the water. lay the moist towel over the affected section of the stock and with an electric clothes iron set on high hold the iron against the towel in the area in which you want to raise a dent. Do not let the towel dry out and check it every minute or two for progress. I've seen my Dad do it and it worked very well if the dent wasn't too severe.
