Not only is it possible, its done every day by rim repair shops. They fix bends, buff, and sand down curb rash damage all the time. They then refinish, and reclear the rims to almost good as new.
If the shop you went to said that, they obviously have no experience working on rims, so I'd just try somewhere else.
