The machine shops I have seen do this successfully all had tools they made that hooked all or most of the holes in the tube at once. This for the reason that you have discovered; you tear the metal pulling on only one hole.
Get a new tube, examine it, build a tool that hooks as many holes as possible. Good luck!
