I've seen a few solutions on Google. One says put it in a microwave for
5-10 sec. I have my doubts. No one confirmed it. Another was to put it
in very hot water, apparently in about 3-4" or so, but nothing more was
offered.

Anyone got a tried and true method?

(I just tried 10 min in hot water w/o any luck. Probably a real goner.)

I have used alcohol with success. Someone suggested an eyedropper,
but I wouldn't put the whole thing in at once. A couple drops, then
cap the pen and store it point down, maybe tap the cap a few times
against a hard surface. If that doesn't do it, a few more drops.

I agree with the comment to buy a new one, but I have been in a
situation where I needed a marker right away, and this was the only
option.
