Have Miley Cyrus twerk on them, that might do it!
but on a serious note, bending your bars to get lower upsweep is quite dumb, and think about this, if you were to try to trade or sell them you would have to sell them for dirt cheap because you intentionally bent them, and you would have to be damn well lucky to be able to trade some bent bars to get something else, also if the bars have a warranty, i am damn well sure bending them to get lower upsweep will void it... my conclusion is, just save up for a while and get a new set, and then get some money back by selling the 4 degree bars you have now.
Welp, broke past 1000... yeeeee

I wouldn't recommend it as you'll never bend them symmetrically by hand/eye, meaning they're gonna feel fucked when you're done. BUT, if you had bent ones and you wanted to somewhat straighten them to be able to ride that day or to save a couple bucks, then what I would do is: Clamp bars in old stem, clamp stem into a bench mounted vise (tight as you can), take bar ends out, insert long pry bar or long solid bar into hollow handlebar, take steroids, bend away.
Just don't do it. Get new ones.

Find a telephone pole or a tree, and smack the bars off of them. Be sure to hit them evenly each time on each side, this should work alright, although i dont recommend this technique unless you have already fucked your bars. Heat treated bars will not do this. Also, why would anyone want LESS upsweep?! Unless your damn bars have like 8 degrees up, leave em. anything more than 7 will be a turd, but 4 is just right, LEAVE THEM.
