I don't think Olympus would be willing to fix it — not for free, at least. They would probably charge you for it since it is damage caused by you and not by the factory. The warranty will only protect you against defects caused during the manufacturing process.

It'll probably be quite expensive as they would need to replace quite a lot of stuff, as the images you posted earlier of your lens shows quite some damage all over the lens barrel. Would probably still be cheaper than buying new, since the internal optics still function properly; that is, unless they refuse to replace it at all...

You can try your luck, but be prepared to be disappointed...
