Dumb move, wasn't paying attention backing into the driveway. Hit the prop cone (not prop), drive all the way up, on the metal garage door, enough to dent the door. Wasn't going fast. Back prop seems to spin true, no visual bent shaft wobble. What is the real way to know if I've done any damage?

Drives hit trees and rocks all the time with no damage. Normally prop strikes result in prop damage but not drive damage. Take it out for a run and see if you notice any new vibration. Even then, its most likely the prop. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
