If you can't get the panel out with a suction tool, try drilling a small hole and put a screw or nut & bolt, something you use to grip with strong pliers to pull.
It might seem extreme but if you were going to finish off with a thin fibreglass coat, you fill the hole at the same time.
Oh god no, they don't do that......
They use hotmelt glue to attach a pulling tool to the paint work, i;ve done it myself.
Hole drilling is an absolute last resort.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

There should be enough access to get the airbags in there.
Its the rear C pillar thats damaged yes? Remove the boot trim side panels and there is usually small holes or after removing the light units.
Worst case remove the headlining..
Depends how badly you want to fix it.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

You can buy those glue dent pullers on eBay.
If you check out youtube, some dents will shock out if you warm the dent with a hot air gun, then chill the dent with freezer spray/air-in-a-can/butane.
The problem most likely will be the metal has stretched to make the dent, which makes it a skilled job to shrink the metal back without marking the paint.
I'd advise either learning to love your dent, or paying the dent man, but a good job doesn't come cheap.I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

I Highly recommend dent devils. Used them last Friday for a door ding in a car I had recently brought. The panel is now perfect, and it only took half an hour!0
