indoor leaning indoor bell pepper

I always put up some support netting on my outdoor peppers, but I figured I didn't need to support my indoor ones (no wind).  Well I have a bell pepper plant with a serious gangsta lean.  Should I figure out a way to get this guy standing tall again or just let it do it's thing?  This plant is about to get heavy, it has around 10 small peppers and 2 medium ones on it already with a lot more blooms, I'm thinking it needs some support.  I would like to avoid staking through the root ball but I can't really think of any other good way to support it.

No, i am talking about this method:

I have used both methods in my growing now, but the clip system is new to me and i use it in this year's growing.
 
 
Does this coax the branch/stem to start growing in that direction?  I have one in a dwc bucket that is leaning to one side and to make things worse it has branches shooting off the side of it making it even more one sided.

Might be a lost cause if the stem have already become wooden, but you can still try to change the direction of growing with the new stems.
