I suspect with heat you can do it safely, much like with cataract removal- just take it slow and give the glass a chance to heat up and establish a thermal gradient (i.e. hold the iron close to the glass for a bit, 15 minutes or so, before actually touching anything). So long as you don't have a sharp temperature gradient from an instant addition of heat or cold, it should be OK.
