i have had the exact same thing happen to me. i was instructed to take a piece of fairly thick steel (i used 2" wide 1/4") and slide it between the core support and the hood right where the latch is. pry upwards carefully, this will allow you a bit of clearance to get a 1/4" drive socket and extension in there, remove the latch and the hood will open. replace your cable and rebend the hood back to its proper form (may require light hammering). if you're worried about paint, wrap both the steel and the hammer in a rag or towel. i had 0 paint damage on mine when i did it.
