You can definitely try PDR, it works on the body lines too. But you have to find an expert.
Your last resort is to go to the body shop. No need to replace the door. A body shop can fix it and make it perfect in less than 3 hours.

It doesn't work along a line. Are you speaking from experience, because I can tell you what they told me on my Nissan, and also what two different shops said working at the BMW dealership. What is questionable/possible is how close to an edge it can be done. I had one in the lower front corner of the E92 door, and it was fixed.

My brother is a PDR guy here in Atlanta... and I actually talked to him about that area on my car and I remember he told me you <can> do it along that crease however it's insanely hard as that area is very strong and would require a lot of pushing and leverage. It's not the "typical" door ding that takes just a few minutes to work out. Basically he said to try not to get any dings there cause it sucks (bad) to try to fix it.
