i don't know and i guess panel beaters don't either.
There are utube videos about glue pull dent removal , but i am not confident enough to try.
If there was enough access from behind i am also not confident about magnetic ball pushing.
The panel beaters want to respray the back of the car and i don't want the tiny dents bogged up and resprayed.
Super easy to get to it from the inside. Put your hands up underneath the big rectangle panel covering the rear window, or from the hoodliner side and pull away from the car.

There are blue plastic pieces that pull out of the panel, so keep pulling until they are as far out as they'll go, then twist each one sideways one at a time to get them out of the hole in the panel. (It comes out easily, its just difficult to describe).

Then unscrew the panel over the rear parcel shelf, and then pull it out. (This guy is much more difficult to get back in due to angle, and the white plastic pop screw wanting to fall back behind other panels so when re-installing use some electric tape and tape the plastic pop screw in place.

Then unscrew the airbag and viola.
