Harvey would know best if they can be physically tested. I seem to recall that they can't be.
One option you could try is swapping the cam sensor and the crank sensor that is identical. Clear the codes and if the code stays teh same, you can rule wiring the fault. If the code switches, then it's the sensor. Then either buy a new sensor, or you could always buy a used one for a fraction of the price. It's not often that they fail, but it does happen from time to time.
Perhaps post a picture of how badly "dented" the sensor is. It's almost impossible for the sensor pickup to be affected. For the cam sensor, it is just a slightly raised notch on the cam gear. For the crank pickup, there are teeth on the crank sprocket.
