It will likely break as you say. Use a sewing pin instead. Those bend very well. Just cut the flat head off with wire cutters and you're good to go. I wouldn’t recommend trying to bend a needle.

The thing with bending a sewing needle doesn't work, those things snap instead of bending. If anyone finds these sharp eye pins let me know!

You could buy long (or whatever length you need) sewing pins, cut of the head and use round-nose pliers to make the eye at the top. I just tried it here and it worked great. Careful to hold the pin with chain nose pliers while making the eye loop though, to avoid pricking yourself with the sharp pin. :) Hope this helps. I’ve never seen anything like that, sorry.
