Lead is a material that is very easy to reform, and it settles into a new crystal shape easily.
In this function it is used in seismic isolation systemsfor large buildings and bridges as an energy absorber. In one form, the lead forms a core at the middle of a set of sheets of rubber interwoven with steel sheets. This is the 'lead rubber bearing'. And a building may sit on perhaps 50 - 100 of these bearings.
An alternate form is the 'lead extrusion damper', roughly the same operation as a bike pump, but instead of air, it used lead as the plastic fluid which is pumped back and forth through a constriction. Both invented by Bill Robinson of Lower Hutt, New Zealand.
You're talking of a serious quantity of energy being dissipated in such a system. Hundreds of kW.
And simple cold working of lead is done with (wooden) hand tools for such asks as making flashing around where a chimney penetrates a roof.

What is the difference between hot and cold working?
The names say it all...Cold working is done cold, i.e. part at room temperature. It essentially pushed into something to deform it. This yields the part, technically increasing its yield for further use, but it will decrease the stress required to go from its new yield to its max tensile. Be advised, for very thick parts, like bars above 2", only the outer portions will cold work, the core will keep the same properties as un-worked metal.Hot working heats the part up above its recrystallization temperature so along with deformation, the part recrystallizes, thereby not cold working it. Hot working does not give a yield strength increase like cold working does.
